Re: 1970 L78 CKO Block from Van Nuys
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Cranberry70SSL34</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I know. I have a day 2 70 SS 396 with prepped TH400 and oval ports with big valves and stock 2240 trw 10.25 and a solid roller cam with old school weiand xcelerator with Holley 850 carb with 4.88 gears. All of it buttoned up with stock pulleys, valve covers, clutch fan etc... I can tell you a stock LS6 has no chance. That 396 with a TH400 will haul the mail my friend and it's in L34 form. In L78 piston head combo it would even be better especially on the top end. </div></div>
Might not be a popular opinion, but I figured a similarly equipped (cam, carb, intake, compression) oval port 396 would beat a rectangle port car. In a 454, where you have more cubes to support the flow and don't need as much torque, might be the opposite.
