One problem with that list is that a L79 engine was
either a 350hp or 325hp,depending on year and model of car,and their camshafts
were hydraulic lifter. The L76 365hp or L84 360 or 375hp engines used solid
lifters.

An old VetteNet member, Mike
'Doc' Cobine has a great reference on camshafts:http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/3000/cmspec.html
This says the cams are
the same while power levels changed for various engines. It would take
some research to see if intakes or anything else changed that
Better marketing? :-)

The only difference between the 1964-65 L76 and L84
engines was the induction system used. The L76 had a high-rise intake with
Holley carb and obviously the L84 had the Rochester fuel injection. Both used
the Duntov 30/30 solid lifter cam.

According to http://www.idavette.net the 63-65 engine

The original reason was to meet the regulations for a racing series, so they
came up with a combination that worked for that application. They could not
have built a 327 or 348 because it would have been too big. For lighter

The 1963 327's with Rochester injection were rated
at 360hp. Not sure why they increased the hp rating to 375. I've
forgotten what was changed in the engine to make the extra power,if anything.
They also made a 365hp Holley carb'd 327 in 1965.
Anyone know the different power ratings of the

1967 Corvettes could also be equipped with the L68 427 that was basically a
390hp with tripower induction.

Here is an interesting read on the bore stroke combos from the factory.
(But they of course never built a 383 version although they should have. If
anyone is considering building a small block from scratch a long rod 383 is
the best in terms of cost vs. power.)

To go from a 350 to a 302 just requires one to change the crank and pistons.
A 302 would be a dog in a later 66-72 Chevelle because of the extra weight.

A 396 block would have to be notched to clear the
longer stroke. 454 blocks are easy to find,though.

Seems to me I heard all BBC cranks are
interchangeable EXCEPT in a 454. I'm thinking there's clearence issues
requiring some grinding.

So, why would any current owner/builder think about
destroking a sbc? I think CHP did an article on making
a 327. There were so few 302's and riding in a car
that the motor was comfortable at 4000 to over 7000
was so cool. Again, can a 350 be destroked enough?
