If you are having trouble cranking over a warm motor, it is usually in the electrical system. The selenoids get hot. Especially if the headers wrap around it. A strong battery, good wiring, and a high torque starter, is a must.
It's lean.
When building a small block chevy engine, you need to decide what exactly you want to do. Restoration or performance enhancement. Normally, the small block chevy engines are harder to build if you want to conserve your cost. Most people try to use aftermarket parts to make it cheaper. Many people have found the book "How to hot rod your small block chevy" to be very helpful. Also, parts suppliers such as Summit and Jeg's have a wealth of information in their catalogs.
I think you are talking about "hot tanking" which is a method used to clean the block out, once disassembled.
It sounds like you want to know how to change the engine in a 1970 Chevy truck from a small block to a big block. If that is the case; there is no difference in the mounting of the engine to the transmission or motor mounts. The exhaust system will need to be changed, and the small block radiator might not be big enough to handle the extra heat made by a big block when it's being worked. (such as on a hot day or pulling a heavy load)
That would be the very first v-8 Chevy made. 265 CID engine. It will be hard to find. The good o 350 engine is a good 1 to modify also. IF DOON RIGHT.
V8 swapYes you can. you will have to update the computer and most of the sensors. SOme of them are the same for the v6. The rear axel wont have to be swapped out but it would be a good thing. unless ur out hot rodding it it will last.
Anything will fit any car, anytime. That is hot rodding.
A faulty sensor in the engine block.
As long as the connection is hot with key on or off.
Start at 6 degrees advance, (BTDC) and go up from there until the motor pings, under load. Then back off a couple of degrees. That is called power timing it. You will probably end upabout 10 degrees, advanced. If it cranks over hard, when hot, back it off a couple of degrees.

Control problem, blend door not working are the places to start
