OK, main bearing diameter I had forgotten about.
As I mentioned a 1940 Chev project in post #94, I do not row the boat the same direction as everyone else. I like something different. The guy I bought the Chev coupe from has one with a pretty good body. 8 to 10 years and he still can not decide on the engine to use.
-301 turbo from the Firebird
-A 350 vortec that he is not sure of the condition.
-454 Chev from his 72 GTO that he now has a 455 Pontiac engine for.
-an LS from salvage.
His thought for me was just get a LS as everyone else is doing. Not my river to paddle.
