Prep work on the 400 Small Block, Quite a difference.
Doing prep work on the 817 casting, 400 just to see if she can be rebuilt. I have to say, that even I am amazed at what a little elbow grease and determination, aka Hard Work will do!
This motor will go thru quite a few changes, so if you have followed from the day it came into the shop, you will see the "transformation" in progress. It may take time, because of money, but this will be a complete unit when I am done and I'll be happy and proud.
As Always......
STAY TUNED!!!

If I was building a Chevy that a good starting point. 👍
My first car was a 71 GTO with a "400 small block". It never fails if i post those words some "experts" will immediately post the comment that there is no such thing as a "small block" 400. All ,400 blocks to them were the same size and there was no such thing as a "big block" 400 i guess. Im not sure what these youtube experts call a 396 or a 454. They just dont like the words "small block" added i guess..

Well, you know it when an "expert" says "There's no such thing"! BS, I have 2. A 509 casting and this 817 casting, both good 2 bolt main blocks that make a ton of torque! Horsepower isn't everything (but I like it).😎 Thanks for following along! Pops

@@martywilsonwilsonenginesho7940 Did Chevy ever use the 400 block in anything? I think the 400 was a GM block for Pontiacs. I never heard anyone say they had a 400 Chevy engine.

@seetheforest From 1970 to 1980 you could get them in pickups and big cars like the Impala or Caprice or a Wagon. 👍 When I look up parts, it is for a 1978 C30 One Ton Pickup. They also can be found in RV's.

@@martywilsonwilsonenginesho7940 ok that makes sense I just don't think I ever saw one as far as I know. Everything was a 318 or a 350.
