He simply verified once again, what I learned as a 16y/o boy many years ago; If you want to win races and don't have all the money in the world, put your money in buying a big motor as opposed to building up a small block. However, very few things can warm my old heart like hearing the idle of double hump SBC heads on a 327 with a 108 General Kinetics or Crane(Blazer series) cam tickling the valves. Long live the small block.

interesting to see that the three SBC's all made basically the same peak power. I'm an RPM lover and its cool to see how the 302 made basically the same power as the 350 but a full 1000 rpm higher.
@Dogboy1960
@Dogboy1960 2 месяца назад
Same power? You're kidding right? Peak Horse power between the 3 is remarlably close. Yet power was nothing even remotely close. The real difference is found in the torque numbers and how wide the torque curve is. The 302 is best described as PEAKY in that you wait until it's spinning hard for the power, then a gear change happens and a lot of that peak power disappears as you wait for it to build again. Yes, the short stroke is fun to "spin" up but it's a far slower car that can't escape the lack of lower rpm power vs the bigger displacement 327 and 350 that don't lose as much power on each rpm drop as you shift gears. These are not engines with the same power, not even close. The head line grabbing peak power numbers don't tell the whole story. DZ302s only existed in the z/28s of '67-69 because the trans am rule book mandated it's size. On the street you face no such rules and in that you find why the 302 configured like this was never installed in any other Chevy of the day. It's a weak choice engine vs both the 327 that came before it and the 350 that came out in 1967 along side it.

We know that the 30/30 cam in the 302 did not make enough low end torque to make an automatic transmission an option. Automatics were an option on the 1970 LT-1, but would that have been possible with the 30/30? Can't imagine wanting an automatic anyway. I loved my '69 Z/28.

Number of years ago I built an original LT-1 for my 70 1/2 RS Z/28. It was a .030" over 350 that was highly built. Can't remember the exact comp cam but it was solid flat tappet with a ton of lift and all the duration, 12.5 to 1 Speed Pro pistons, the whole assembly lightened, ported 461 fuelie heads that were angle-milled .060", Victor Jr. intake, Carb Shop 920 CFM carb as well as a few other mod, 1.6 rockers, passive pan evacuation system, electric cooling fan, MSD ignition, etc. Then Madcap Racing dyno'd it with no accessories and open long tube headers. It made an astounding, altitude corrected 594 hp @ 7400 rpm and 502 lb/ft tq at 5800 rpm. 4 spd. 4:56 axle with hard as a rock TA radials, full 2.5" exhaust. At Bandimere's drag strip, no burnout allowed (5800 ft altitude) only mod was removing the air cleaner, 12.58 sec. @111 mph Here's a link to a short video.

Chevy offered an automatic transmission behind the 370 hp 350 in the 70 Z28. This required a slight reduction in the exhaust duration. The added displacement and reduced duration worked well with the auto trans. No auto trans was offered with any other solid lifter small block, nor with the 350hp 327 hydraulic cam engine.

I’m a Mopar guy. But my favorite Chevy engine is the 302. My second favorite is the 327. You tested my two favorite Chevy engines. I noticed that the compression has a lot of influence on torque and hp. Early model 327 when good gas was available to have higher compression. 69 was a year that compression was still high due to good gas. As we know after 71 the octain fell off and so did compression. Then as octain levels raised so did compression. Then hp levels rose again. We have 10:1 and greater compression today and we have na engines making good hp again.

I saw a similar test between a Pontiac 400 and 455. The results were similar. When built the same both engines had about the same peak horsepower but the 455 had way more torque and at a lower RPM. The peak power on the 455 was also at a slightly less RPM. About 400 RPM's if I remember the test correctly.

The Chevy parts manager helped me order and set it up. I can't remember the lash setting 26 or 28 and if the intake/exhaust were the same or staggered. Made a big change in the performance. It's what he ran in his 1970 1/2 Camaro Z28. I think I found the project to motivate me to put this together. So what would this old dinosaur's power be?

I had a 69 Camaro with a LT1 350 with the off road GM cam, other than a Edelbrock intake it was bone stock. It turned a rod bearing so I yanked it out of the car and replaced the crank as the rod was ok. Put the car all back together and it didn't have any power like it used to. So I thought I may have had the distributor in wrong. Nope not that at all. The crank I put in was a 327 crank!! No wonder it didn't have any power! It still had 110 lbs compression. So since this was my daily driver I just advanced the timing until it sounded better. Took it for a drive and no pinging sounds - more advance. I put a timing tape on and checked the timing - it was 55 degrees! So I then bought a MSD box for it and set it to 7000 cut out. Richard this was a ripper, with so low a compression it didn't take long to rev up that is why the MSD box. I drove it like that for another 2 years and thrashed it. It had a turbo 400 out of a 4 X 4 with a reverse valve body so it was really fun to drive. Our tuning tools back then was a timing light and a screw driver for jet changes. Keep those comparison videos coming.

We use to race dirt late models in NC in the 70's and you name it we tried it. Big block and small block both are great engines just to completely different animals. You lug a big block and turn a small block. But both will do the same thing and win races. We dropped a value on Friday night on a 427 and went to the shop and got a customers 327 that he left for over a year. Put the engine in the car at the shop and hooked everything up fon the way back to the track. Very interesting task. Had to change the car setup completely for the small block. Broke the track record in qualifying and won the race. It's just like females they all can do same things just a matter of taste.

In regards to the SBC, we have to remember cars at that time were not getting any lighter, yet people wanted them to go faster.

I'm not a Chevy guy by any means, but from many years of racing experience my choice will always by a small journal 327 with a high flowing cylinder head and lot's of compression. It has the best rod length to stroke ratio and the best bore to stroke ratio of all sbc's for high rpm HP.

You are doing a good thing with your comparisons. I taught performance engine machining and building along with dyno testing and tuning for 10 years, both engine and chassis dynos. We used an inertia chassis dyno, not the best but it worked good enough. It measured torque and calculated horse power and the time it took to get to our cut off speed was part of the HP calculation. We could always tell a high HP car by listening. Low HP cars took a long time to get to the speed figure. I have a video of a 4th generation Trans Am with a stroked LS and a 300hp nitrous system. It went from 55 to 120mph, in about 4 seconds with lots of tire smoke. This was a street car and I named the video Neck Snapping Acceleration

That is actually my era. I lived a mile from Fremont drag strip. I couldn't afford any of those cars with those engines but I rode in/raced all of em. First the 302.. My buddy just got back from a stint in the unpleasantness in south east asia. He had some money so off to Central Chevrolet he went for a brand new 69 Z 28 The car was an absolute beast... I remember the salesman saying something about 'off road only" In the trunk of that car was a cross ram 2 four setup and an in the box 'off road' cam. When I was in high school my dads buddy came to the house with a brand new vette ... it had the injected 327 and against my dads advise the guy let me drive it to get them some beer or something. That car was also very fast. Then... my best bud had a dad that was getting quite a collection of tri five Chevys including some nomads. He really did not care about Hp but he picked up a 56 Nomad somewhere. In primer... 4 speed And it sounded basd a$$ It had headers and... as it turned out... a crate 350 370 horse motor. But as we later found out... it had the 'off road' cam in it. We drove that car (which he just confiscated from pops) all over... Other than blowing rear ends it was relatively dependable and we actually never got beat in the thing. So this test is interesting to me since I thought all of em were pretty killer motors with much the same internals. years later I ended up putting a 302 Z28 clone motor in my 55 two seater Healey... Yeah... believe me I know.

When the bore is the same and you only change the stroke the horse power will be the same at the same piston speed just slightly more on the shorter stroke.

Would love to see 4 different sbc engines compared that are configured 4 different ways built with the exact same compression, same heads and same cam to prove once and for all what is the best way to build a sbc 350. 1st engine would be a sbc 350 the way the General originally configured it. 2nd one would be from a sbc 400 block using a 327/307 3.25" stroke crank with long 6.25" rods. 3rd configuration would be from a 307 block using a 400 3.75" stroke crank. You can use sbc 400 5.565" factory rods with this one, with 4.0L Jeep pistons. Would have to be a factory 400 crank to be able to use the factory short 400 rods. And finally the 4th configuration would be with a 305 block with a 4.00" stroke crank. Would be 6.00" rods for that crank. To make it fair for the small bore engines, use sbc 305 Vortec heads on all 4 engines. To up the anty throw some boost in the mix as well to seewhich one responds better to boost. Possibly just swap the heads and cam to each engine to try to keep costs down a bit? The factory configuration 350 has a 1.638:1 rod ratio. Number 2 will have a 1.923:1 ratio, #3 will have a 1.484:1 ratio and finally Number 4 will have a 1.5:1 ratio. Possibly if you wanted to because the 3 and 4 ratios are very close, the number 3 ratio can be changed, dealers choice? But more expensive custom pistons would need to be made. A factory stroke sbc with 6.00" rods would give you a 1.724: 1 rod ratio to throw in the mix if you wanted to? This would be the ultimate bore vs stroke comparison of all times. And just for a bonus would also be the ultimate rod ratio comparison. This ultimate test would put to rest bore vs stroke which one makes more power forever. Also would put to rest what rod ratio works the best all in one video! 😲👍

According to the Stan Weiss website anyway. And the exhaust out does the 350 heads as well. Bigger 1.94"/1.60" valves and some porting would go a long way.

I can explain the effect of bore and stroke a lot quicker... Had an MC SS, It came with a 305 like they all did. Installed a 224* cam and headers. It felt better, but not enough better. Pulled the 305, and installed a 355 with the same cam. Big difference at WOT, but felt about t he same at part throttle. Pulled the 355, and dropped in a long rod 406. Same cam and intake. Now we are getting somewhere! But like Ray Parker Jr, "I had to have just a little bit more". So, yanked the 406, and dropped in a 434. Had to go a little bigger on the cam, but still running the same factory intake, factory Quadrajet carburetor, same ported Z-28 iron heads, same stock mufflers and pipes. Pulled out on to the street to see how it would do, and it barbecued every clutch in the transmission in mere seconds. That is the effect of displacement. I've been hooked on it ever since.

In this one video you get a pretty inescapable explanation of "no replacement for displacement". Small wonder the 383 SBC is such a popular choice today. 400, 427 and even bigger small block strokes are available too but the price tag starts to get a little heftier. The 383 seems to be the sweet spot in the trade off for power on a reasonable budget. So what changed over the years that pushed the 327 and smaller engines to a place where only a numbers matching original gets a rebuild at this size. Better heads and roller cams. Richard is using the best of the day iron heads and a pretty stout factory cam for this comparison. Back then it was possible to do better but expensive porting and really wild flat lifter cams were required and for "racing only" that wasn't a problem but in a street car most people wanted something more reliable and longer lasting. Today big flow computer cut heads and roller cams can feed enough flow to larger displacement engines that it has changed everything vs what would have been done in the 1970s. Today a perfectly street ready reliable 383 SBC with 450-500HP and a big, fat broad torque curve won't cost an arm and leg and it's going to be a reliable package. In this you find the reason why it's so rare to see the smaller displacement engines as first choice today.

My favorite video so far. Perfectly shows an engine is just a big air pump. More displacement = more air flow at lower RPM = more power at lower RPM. We can clearly see the old engines are limited by air flow through the head by how the curves all converge in the right side of the graph. Just like everything in life engine building is a trade off. Do you want lots of torque for pulling a load or driving around town? Build the largest displacement engine with the longest stroke for 2500-5500RPM power. Want a racing high RPM engine? Build the shortest stroke with a wide bore to keep the piston speed low and make that same power but at 5000-8000RPM. All comes down to how you want the engine behavior to be. In this vein there is something around a 377ci de-stroked 400 small block that is a strange beast. That would be a neat comparison to a 383 stroker. I wonder if you can put a 4.8L crank in a 6.0L block and turn it to 9000rpm. Hmm...

One camshaft was the first design racing camshaft that called for new valve springs that were made of defective steel. The other camshaft was sold as an, "improved torque" camshaft. This camshaft has more modern cam lobes. The improved torque camshaft was sold over the counter for the over the counter 1969 LT-1 350, that was a parts engine that used the 302 intake, carb and improved torque camshaft with the base of the engine being the forged piston L46 350hp engine. The 1969 over the counter LT1 did not have the push rod guide plates the 1970 production LT1 engine had. The LT1 camshaft is smaller on paper than the older camshaft, but has more modern cam lobes. The 302 intake manifold and carb made the biggest difference in power.

It seems to me that the head design restricts the smaller engines ability to spin as high as needed to make better peak HP. You can see the 350 runs out of breath at like 5500, the 327 at 6200, and the 302 at 6700. It's about proportional to the added volume they are trying to flow. the larger engines making more torque is a given.

It would be interesting to see a pure bore vs stroke comparison with similar displacement. You can build a classic 383 small block with the 4.030 bore and 3.75 stroke. To compare, you can build a 380 small block with a 4.125 bore and 3.500 stroke. That would keep the change in displacement out of the equation.

Learned head flow is a determining factor to hp. And cubic inches and head flow design work together to provide the best low end power and and over all performance.

GM used a milder cam in the 70 LT1, because they wanted to offer it with an automatic transmission, which was not available in 1st gen Z28's

Amazing how much such a small change in stroke like a 1/4 of an Inch makes in torque numbers down low

Ya know what I noticed? The jump from 302 to 327 was a MASSIVE change... The torque jump from 327 to 350 wasn't near as big.

I have a 1970 Camaro z-28 355 LT1 with matched and polished exhaust ports and intake matched and de-flashed intake runners. Manley pro-flo valves, forged Speed-Pro domes and an old lopey Crane cam. I forget the number. It will pull all the way to 63-500 which is where I shift it. It's over 355HP easy, but I do understand these are bone stock components. I can gap my buddy's 302DZ by a couple cars and pulling. Great information though.

Would love to see a comparison between the different Mopar 340s. A regular 68-69 with a Carter AVS and X heads, a 71-72 with a Thermoquad and J heads and a 70 T/A or AAR with a 6 pack (slightly different block, not sure if heads are the same).

I think the reason 1/4" engines out run 1/2" engines on dirt tracks is usually you're turning around 5500 to 6500 in the middle of the corner the softer power curve on the shorter stroke helps the tires bite better and the chassis setup becomes less critical..

I would also like to see a 283, and a 383 added to the mix. I would also like to see all gen1's run with the same middle of the road camshaft and intake, and carb. I have yet to Build any LS motor, and the GEN1's look plain simple compared to the new stuff, which is very good stuff. After you supercharged the LS 4.8 to 600+hp, and 4.8 remans are dirt cheap compared to 6.0's, I would like a blown 4.8 just because,and really piss off people with my drive to the track, foot brake, drive home, s10 Blazer on 75 Monza. Reliability, and et repeatability, and budget friendly, are my motivation. good job!
