I spent about 2500 on the first 454 in my 70. It put out around 475 HP. I
also have small block springs in it. I think it has just the right stance

It seems like a long time since I received my last issue of Chevelle

If memory serves, the 400 Turbo-Jet was actually a 402 BBC. BTW, a .060
over 396 is a 408 (I think), not a 406. Somebody want to verify the
math?

If I recall, I usually get mine around the beginning of the second month
covered by the issue. For example, the May/June issue came around the first
part of June, so the next issue, July/August should arrive soon.

The most recent issue I have is May/June Vol. 6 No. 3. The cave has a 65 two
door wagon in front of a jet. It must be the anticipation of recieving the
next issue that makes it seem like it takes forever between them.

Sorry for the mispell. I ment the COVER has a 65 two door wagon not cave. I
just got these two fingers a week ago and am still breaking them in.
As long as we are on magazines. Has anyone seen the supposedly 1 of 6 71
sedan delivery the latest issue of hot rod? looks like a converted el camino
to me. Anyone have any knowledge of these really being for real?

Besides the 402 there was a 400 BB. I believe it was in 1970 72 (ls3). my
book shows the 1971 ls3 with an * noting that it is a 402 that year. I
believe it may have been a 2 barrel motor. it was not available in an SS car.

Rich,
We put the July/Aug issue of Chevelle World in the mail just last week, so
they should be arriving in y'alls mailboxes within a week or two (bulk
mail). The reason
Larry,
I've seen the "El Cawagon" shown in Magazine, although when I last
saw it, the color was white. It belonged to an ACES Member, who purchased
it already "converted." Hot Rod got it right with their tongue-in-cheek
assessment, calling it "an El Camino with a roof from a wagon." I
think the

[Chevelle-List] Buying a used engine block
Hey
I
haven't seen that, but I did see an El Camino made from an Impala SS. This
was on display at a local Chevy dealer. It looked good, and may have been
a prototype, I'm not sure. Has anyone else seen this
vehicle

First of all check your battery and make sure it's fully charged... Should
be around 12.6 or so... 11.9 volts or less means it needs to be charged.
Here's the 4 tests that

Can you get me one?
Or
From a private party, business, junk yard or
where? Was that one of those once in a lifetime deals or is that
about the fair price? Sounds lower than what I was expecting to pay, so
I'm curious.

Explain how you plan to get the torque of a big block,

you don't want to spend on a big block??

Larry,
The 400 big block WAS the 402, typical GM confusion, as they added a .030 overbore to
the 396, and just
called it a 400, or rather used 400 badging on some of the

I remember hearing way back in 71 that the 402 came about because GM had
accumulated a number of 396 blocks that were bored a little too big to meet
specs. Instead of
