Well, it took some doing to get where I am with this engine but I've finally got it as far as I'm willing to go before it's hung in the frame.
It's a pretty stock 235, bored .080 over with Fenton duals, Clifford intake and Holley 390 CFM 4-barrel carb. Other tweaks include dynamic balance, full-pressure oil filtering, 216 water pump adaptor, Timing gear cover bolt reversal, and the crank drilled/tapped for a SBC harmonic balancer bolt. This will bolt up to a freshly rebuilt SM420 and rear axel sporting a 3.55 R&P. Putting all this together with front disks and rebuilt rear brakes I'll have a completely rebuilt drivetrain and a respectable daily driver... in about a year.
I would like to publicly thank all the helpful folks here on The Bolt for their help, especially Dave Razey (Fla54Chevy) for his patience and guidance in helping me not only with the engine but just about everything else I've touched on my truck.
