Boy you guys are vicous,but justifiably so.First time on,(except introduction)and while I'm no expert on small block ss 72 chevelles (I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong)but according to my memory(and my GM parts book)I don't recall SS cars came with rocker moldings.These only came on malibu's Pt#3980800 &3980799 Gp.8.304 "EXC-SS-PKG".Nobody mentioned this, am I out of line?Steve

Re: Time capsule 410 miles..wow
 

Hi Steve and welcome. You are not out of line but since the car has been proven to be a complete hoax this thread has been taken over by the "my engine is bigger then your engine, nah, nah,nah, nah naaaahhhh" folks. Sit back and enjoy the show, it gets better.

Welcome again.

Brute straight line acceleration owing to torque.
Fight goes to BBC.
Singing the song of revs,turnin the twisty mountain hiways,
Fight goes to SBC.
I'm sorry, but I haven't found a big block car that keeps up to me in the twisty's.

Gotta love em both, but two different animals.

Having said that, every time I got in my last Malibu, I revved my mech. roller 427 (stock gm steel crank, stock dimple rods ..albeit the full meal prep deal,, to 8500.

As I bought it used, It also had been beat on prior to my ownership, with a 300hp hit of nitrous, and the ungodly revs.
It never missed a beat or broke any parts while I owned it, so if its built to rev, there's no reason to hold back.

Now, granted that may not apply to stock or restoration BBC's and/or 454's because of the longer arm....

Pedal to the metal!!

Re: Time capsule 410 miles..wow
 

you, my man, need to stop in South Jersey for a lesson in real RAT MOTOR muscle..........(don't take this personally.)
Owned the DZ302...the LT1......no comparision. Love the winding up of a mouse motor......but, come on,.....BB torque??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: Time capsule 410 miles..wow
 

I have always said, a small block may get you there faster (higher revs) but a big block will scare the hell out of doing the same.
