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"
