Re: My rapido longblock (pics)
Well I've been wrenching for 44yrs, and most of my experience didn't only come out of a book, it was hands on, I'd call that practical experience! and I've built a few more different engines then Chevy's, so it looks like you need22more yrs to catch up to me.
And no, my 327 had a (newly designed) high lift hydraulic cam from the factory, till the cam snapped, and I put in a solid lifter "Duntov 2" cam, I'd like to see you adjust that with a feeler gauge statically.
I appreciate your OPINION there, mikdee, but unfortunately that is all it is, there is no practical experience or real thought behind it. Book smart is easy, I can read about things as well as you can, but I also have been building small block chevy's for appr 22 yrs now and I can tell you what works short term (your ideas) and what works long term in the real world (the actual facts). Unless you've built a motor and watched it live out to 100,000 miles trouble free or 1500 hours trouble free, you don't REALLY know what you are talking about. Just MY opinion.
