Re: engine rebuild (cardo0)
I bought and read Vizard's book when I did mine this spring. For whatever it's worth you can see what I did to my L-48 in my signature. It really comes alive above 3000 RPM. Low end didn't change much. Looking to recurve the distributor next. If you don't care about numbers matching, you can get the 330 HP Vortec from GM for about the same as what I spent on mine.
