I guess that tells 2 things about me.

1. I'm NOT a Chev guy

2. My last year as a auto mechanic was 1970 and in 1969, I replaced the block of my best friends 67 Camaro, 350 (split cyl wall) and that was probably, the last Chev engine that I tore down, although I do use rods from the SBC 400, to narrow and put in 302 Fords.
