1968 Road Runner '383' vs. 1968 Chevelle 'SS 396'
Neech
* 396/325 HP 'L-35'
* 2-Bolt Main Block
* Nodular Iron 'Cast' Crankshaft
* Connecting Rods {Standard Drop-Forged with 3/8" Bolts}
* 10.25-1 Compression Ratio
The big mistake, was when guys would throw in a High-Lift
'Hydraulic' Camshaft into the 'L-35' without changing the Valve Train.
Then they would add; Headers, an Edelbrock Intake Manifold,
a Holley 780 CFM Carburetor and Gears.
Then try to take the 396 up over 6000 RPM's.
"BOOM"
