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...
