![]() These may be somewhat hard to find in complete condition, but what’ we’re emphasizing here is a combination of a one-piece rear main seal block with provisions for using a factory style hydraulic roller camshaft matched with a pair of iron Vortec heads. The best used engine combination to look for would be the Vortec small block used in 元1-equipped pickup trucks from 1996 through 1998 and all the way into 2002 in some vans. The reason you should look for a one-piece rear main seal engine is not just for the better rear main seal but because most of these engines came with a hydraulic roller camshaft. In the second half of the 1980’s – officially in 1986, Chevy converted small-blocks to a one-piece rear main seal which makes identifying these engines really easy. Jeff Smith: I’ve built more than my fair share of street-easy small block Chevys and one combination is a favorite. Do you have a recommendation for someplace to start? Thanks I’d like to rebuild the engine by putting rings and bearings in it. I could just buy a Chevy crate engine but I’d like to do the work myself. ![]() I will probably put headers on it, so except for a small Holley four-barrel carburetor and intake manifold, that’s about as wild as I want to get. ![]() The trans will be a TH-350 with a stock torque converter and whatever the stock gears are in the rear end. I want to build a mild, 350ci small-block Chevy for a ’77 Chevy pickup I’ll use as a daily driver.
