Mods to 1979 - L48
Hi all,
After an unfortunate incident with the crankshaft I have ordered a rebuild of the ol' trustworthy 350. My mechanic, who claims to know a lot about Vettes, has suggested the cylinders to be bored .030 over, installation of hypereutic pistons resulting in a compression of 10:1 and a new camshaft from a L 82-engine. I will retain the stock manifold and cylinder heads.
How does that sound for a first-time mild modification? Any alternate suggestions? And what might be next (besides the obvious Merlin502 purchase? ;)
