Default Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build

I got some parts for Christmas, so I plan on getting the short block together next week. I mounted my pistons up, and drilled the crank snout for the balancer bolt, a friend of mine faced the crankshaft flange for me. I balanced the assembly today, it needed 4 grams on the front and 9 grams on the rear, both on the crank pin side. My Dad will hone the block for me and I can start assembly.

I got the short block assembled, took a while to get the bearing clearance set. I was looking for .0025 on the mains, and the number 2 main was coming in at .0023, I was able to sand the back of bearing, really just cleaned it up and got the .0025 I was looking for, the rest went together good with no problems, I had .0022 on the rods. The picture of the main bearings # 2 sanded, the number 1 as produced. Now the work will start, the heads are next, thats going to take some time.

Things look great, keep it up!

When I looked that young, it was a few years before G I Joe was invented.

Got started on the heads a while back, machined for screw in studs and guide plates. Installed the guides and honed them to size, and cut for seals. I then started on the intakes by unshrouding the chambers and hogging the bowls for the 2.020 seat. I then cut the intake seat and set height. The exhaust seats were next with the height set.
