476 Install Pictures
I put a new cam, lifters, intake, and carb on the 396 and the bottom end couldn't hang with the new-found power...
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Crazy thing is that it still ran with the piston like that! I know, I know... don't bolt nice parts on a tired bottom end... So I built the 476 from a freshly machined block (454 +0.100" bore). Bought the assembled shortblock and heads, and slapped it together with the existing bolt-ons. I had to buy another new cam and lifter set though bc the comp lost a lobe in the process. It's very healthy but I have yet to really get on it because it's still breaking in. After I change the oil this weekend and get some dry roads we'll see what she's got... |

Re: 476 Install Pictures
Sweet. Looks like a nice clean job. Wish mine was that nice. Talk to me about the small block mounts. I am putting a 396 into my 67 4X4. The mounts on my 327 have a single stud that mounts to the crossmember, not clamshell type, will they work w/ the 396? Also what clearence issues is any did you have. Thanks

Re: 476 Install Pictures
I removed the wire guide on the firewall and re-routed the wires to clean things up. I also took this oppertunity to finally run the proper 12 AWG wire to the HEI.

what if you don't run this wire? What are the draw backs? What is AWG? Thanks dan Last edited by dan468; 12-17-2007 at 10:08 AM. |

Re: 476 Install Pictures
When I fired it up for the first time I had a heater core leak! So I figured it was a better time than any to replace it. What a pain that is! While it was out I had no choice but to paint the heater box... You can see the Accel billet HEI, painted brake booster, and new/painted MC here too:

Re: 476 Install Pictures
That is awesome, thanks for all the pics and details! Quick question did you disassemble the A arms and steering linkages and what did you use to paint the frame? Did you sandblast it or just degrease and paint over rust?

Re: 476 Install Pictures
Thanks. I cleaned it with carb cleaner and a wire-wheel/brush down to bare metal for the most part. I painted just the area you see in the pics. No rust though. The 1/2" of oily muck must have been good protection.

Re: 476 Install Pictures
Looking great - sounds like a stout engine! I haven't read your 61 Stepside build thread in a while so I'm gonna jump over there - if any of you haven't checked out that thread - you really need to!
