Let's Build a 265 Chevy V8!!!!!

Indeed, What exactly is going on here???

 

Yep, block notched for the 3.48 stroke. Crank turned to small journal. Good eye 56sedandelivery. Counterweights on crank were also machined to match the little motor and needed to add weight for balance. Easiest way was the 8 inch dampner. Didn't want to drill for heavy metal.

 

That is Killer! Dig it...

 

Not much left of the stock front engine mounts in order to use a 400 dampener! What's the final CID? There was another HAMBER who built a big inch "265"; I forget who it was, but had to clearance the block, cut down the counter weights, etc, etc, etc. I've got a 57, 265 block waiting for it's turn. It'll be a "225 HP" motor, bolted to ,one of my built aluminum Powerglides. "Pseudo-Junior Stocker". Keep posting on your "265". I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Bout time you posted some pics..Your brothers been telling me about it for awhile

 

Hey, Lumpy63. Glad your lurking. Brother is back in Missouri for his 50th high school reunion. When he gets back I will probably visit you guys.
56sedandelivery, front motor mount brackets still have enough bent shoulder that there is no flex. 319 final cid.

 

Hey Mopac , Tell Bobby not to F up the 55 he just bought

 

Think it will be a gasser and my brother just may be the pilot. He is really good rowing the oar!

 

Have ya got the correct distributor for this engine,?? The one with a machined lower end for oil control???

 

I have a '65 vette tach drive distributor installed.

 

That could be a problem with the oiling flat milled in the orginal distributor????? Better discuss with someone????

 

Block oiling mods have been updated, but thanks to everyone for the heads-up

 

3.48" is a 350 stroke; the 400 has a 3.75" stroke, so even more clearance grinding there! I have a bunch of 265/283 stuff I'll get around to assembling one of these days, but nothing anywhere near what you're doing. Too bad the 400 dampener is a dead giveaway something's a little off; "yeah, it's just a little 265". I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Most people wouldn't know the difference anyway and this was the easiest and cheapest( I had a SFI balancer) way for me to go.

 

Is it running yet?.... Wanna race?

 

Got to weld case on Muncie before install. Will be installing an EZ wire harness all at the same time. Steve should be back soon an visiting for the thrash. Hell yes I want to race!
