RJ, I run a 396 bored .030 over. It started as a 396 325H original motor in the car, 92000 miles on it. Did a complete rebuild, new pistons, valves, etc. Installed a Comp performance cam - @.050 - 226/226, Edelbrock dual-plane intake, Holley 750cfm dual intake Carb, vacuum advance, MSD Pro Bill
what's recommended for an engine our size for street use.

1965-66 BBC cams must have a grooved rear bearing
journal for correct oiling. 1967 and later BBC's didn't require this but it's
mandatory for the 65-66 model BB engines.

Larry,I could see building that engine you
have,,especially if the date codes are pretty close. Just make sure that if
you decide to change the cam,that you use a cam designed for a 65-66

I agree with Clint and RJ. I had my 386 built by the local speed shop. The goal was to keep it a budget project and to keep the HP somewhere in the 350-400 range. Being able to use pump gas is critical if you want this to be a daily driver. I'd drop that compression ratio down to 9.5 if I were yo
etup, or should I consider
dropping a crate 396 in it? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
