Of course on a 2bbl it is easier to activate the tilting mechanism with the throttle linkage. Don't forget to adjust the fuel mixture for WOT, not pit cruising!

Mark, did you happen to try the old flat washer trick between the 2 bbl and the intake. Bet Jimmy Parker can relate to those days....Not meaning he did it, but that he saw it.....Frank

It was running around the new minimum (14.80's ) I stuck on the WCFB from Joe S's 61 Vette, and picked up about a second . No one on hand ,including several S/S racers, even noticed!
Goes to show , some think all slow combos are bogus!

No, not on that one, seeing it was a PG car.

I DO know ,you can remove three little parts from a 4GC carb and pick it up over a tenth..
or so I'm told. LOL

Hell Jack, I've got the crank out of one. Was never bored for a pilot bushing. Its also 5lbs lighter than any other 396/427 crank we have. Unfortunately it died an untimely death at the hands of a spun rod bearing

Seems to me the bottom half( short block,cam, pistons, etc.) on that engine were the same as the 325 horse. the heads were one-off, about equivalent to a 71 402 head,but with a different part number, but that crank you mentioned is a cast crank. Almost all the 68-9-70-71 396/402 standard production units were cast. ('<').

yes it is a cast crank. Dad got the whole motor out of a wagon wayyyy back when. Only one we have ever seen not drilled for a pilot bushing, or that light. It was a different piece for sure

I don't know if this is an urban legend, about 20 years ago a guy told me to find a 335 hp. 427 crank same stroke as a 396 (cast). I believe it was 69 only no pilot bushing and was lighter than 325 396, cannot find the casting no. gsa612

that's the crank but it was a 2bbl 396 out of a wagon (not 100% sure on the hp), may have been the same in a 427/335

69 Full size and wagons only @ 265/265. Do not see it in any other year in my books
