Engine Question
Hi its me again. Ok this is how much i know now: my 79 has a rebuilt block; i don't know what from,edelbrock intake manifold,carb and air cleaner, hi performance cam, .030 overvbore,true duals with no caty's, aftermarket headers and no emission controls.
i was wondering if all chevy small blocks were the same, because i want to get the hooker sidemounts and the local car shop(Lordco) said i should get the universal ones and bend them myself. Will the corvete sidemounts fit my engine? and what was the main difference between an l82 and l48 i was told it was the header size, that the l82 had 2.something inch pipes which is what mine has but i dont know what the block is cause there is no pad to find it on. Also any esimates on horsepower would be appreciated.
