Chevy Small Block Info

Hello All,



This is my first post to this forum.  I have a question regarding
specifications of the SBC.  Where could I find information on
torque specs and block measurements for the SBC, specifically the 400,
but generally all SBCs?  Thanks in advance for the help!!!

which torque specs are you looking for?

-Oil Pump to Main

-Harmonic Balancer

-Intake Manifold

-Flywheel



This is for a race engine that will be pushing out between 650 and 700 horses.



Also, I used AutoCAD pretty frequently, and I'd like to draw it in 3-D,
just for fun.  I'v been looking for a site that shows measurements
that I need to make everything as exact as I can, but I haven't been
able to find anything.

if youre building that kind of power, you should be using performance parts, and every performance part that ive used included a torque spec.  like included in the info about the part, no?

Well, stuff like the main and head studs did have manufacturer's torque
specs, but the other things that I previously mentioned are being
re-used.  They are in good shape, so I don't see any reason why I
wouldn't be able to re-use them.



What I was looking for was a website, or something similar, that had a
lot of info about the SBCs.  I have books on them, but I'd like to
have a quick reference all in one location.  Would anyone know of
any performance shops in the Houston area that wouldn't mind answering
questions such as these?

well, i wish i could shed more light on this subject, but im at a loss here...
