The only engine i have to take apart is in my truck, and that wouldn't exactly work. Some friends and i rebuilt a Chevy SB 350 but thats about it.. and we were just kinda wingin' it, but it runs

that engine, is the ORIGINAL legendary 5.0, or 302, smallblock windsor. the new 5.0 shares nothing but the badge with the original. unlike the new one that has overhead cams and all the new technology.....the original small blocks were pushrod 2v engines. although it is just my opinion, i think ford hit the nail on the head with them. on a race track, the ford 302 or even 289 will often outperform a chevy 350. there is actually a forum on FTE devoted to these badass little powerplants.
the pictured engine is bored and stroked from 302 to 347.

I have the same "problem" but the Chevy 350 is going into a '79 Chevy k20 10" lift with ground hogs and dual flowmaster super 40s. Mud truck, we can't wait to get it driving, not street legal yet. It will be at the truck drive

overhead cams at 14k rpms? it starts slow, and they keep ramping it up. its crazy how little time there is for cylinder filling with the valves opening and closing that fast.
