Hey guy's idk if you remember a while back i posted a thread called "chevy trucks" regarding mine and my dad's win of winning the trophy up at gibraltar. well guy's ran into a great deal and well i will let the pics explain//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

*THE VICTIM a 73 el camino being brought home*

*The 77 el camino 350 being pulled*

*The 350 out of the 77*

*THE BEAST being chained up and being pulled for it's new home in a 77 el camino* *not right now this 350 engine has normal heads but the heads will be pulled and will be putting bored out vette heads on that 350 to make it a 383.

*The beast pulled out of the 73 *

*the new built 350 waiting for its new home in the 77*

*Here is a nice direct shot of the dual quads*

*pulled the valve covers off *D&mn look how clean those heads on that engine are//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif*

Notes: me and my dad have many idea's for this engine the new vette heads that will go on soon making it a 383 , then an all chrome pulley system also with alternator bracket and timing chain cover . oh and so much more.

can't wait though to start building that 350 up even more.

Erm, since when does changing the heads increase the 350 cubic inch displacement to a 383?

A 383 small block requires a stroker kit, which completely changes the internals of the engine (crankshaft, pistons, etc.)

The heads are bored out and will also have more work down to them and the block.

Well, as long as you are changing the bore and stroke, then I guess it WILL be a 383. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But simply changing the heads will not increase the displacement.
