    Want to act like a trawler

    Status update on the project. Sold the stock L29 heads. 2.06 / 1.72 valves and 100cc chambers would have made a nice torqey 454 with a lot of throttle response. Picked up a set of Merlin 269CC heads, 119cc chambers, 2.3 Stainless intake / 1.88 Inconel exhaust valves for just a few $ more...

    oil cooler or no oil cooler..... that is the question

    working on my BBC build and have been vacillating with whether or not to add an oil cooler. the Gen VI block has two oil cooler ports in it and would make plumbing an oil cooler a breeze. I would put one in the supply hose to my crank mounted raw water pump, and have identified the oil cooler...

    BBC build- Don't tell the Admiral
