Looks like with the 2.000" rod journals he didn't have to notch the block to clear the rod bolts like I had to.

Re: Secondchance - 380 build begins!
I am clueless how sticking mains can be fixed. I can ask and find out.
Although I don't know enough to assemble the motor, it's a real treat to be able to stop by, take pics and see it being assembled. |

Re: Secondchance - 380 build begins!
The aluminum block and girdle move around a bit. This just happens on the LT5. Kind of scary the first time around. Every bolt needs to be torqued on the whole bottom end before turning the crank.
Nice part of the 380's (3.750 stroke) no block work needed, even with the big 2.100 stock rods

Re: Secondchance - 380 build begins!
Good to know, I was thinking you shouldn't need to torque all the griddle skirt bolts.....Thanks for the great tip!!

Re: Secondchance - 380 build begins!
I took my block back twice.....every time I torqued it the crank would stick like an SOB......6K miles later no issues. A lot of it is the engine flexing on the stand....no worries!!!
