Stock, around 28, but stock, you should be using initial. High performance, as much as possible. If you put a curve kit in, and an adjustable vaccuum advance, you should be able to get 32, to 34, on pump gas, depending on your altitude, compression ratio, and outside temp. To get an accurate total, you really have to install timing tape on the balancer. Just keep advancing until it pings. That is called power timing it. No light required, with enough experience.
4 degrees advanced initial, or about 30, total.
4, to 6 degrees advanced, (BTDC) initial, or 30, to 32 degrees total.
the weight of my 427 Chevy big block. Which is the same as the 396, 454. This is a bare block we are speaking about. the total weight of a bare block Is right at 200 pounds.
It is best to start at 8 degrees at 600 rpm for auto and 6 degrees at 800 rpm for manual. The total timing should be around 33 degrees.
A small block 350 Chevy engine typically holds about 4.5 to 5.5 quarts of oil, depending on the specific configuration and whether a filter change is included. When considering the cooling system, it generally requires around 12 to 16 quarts (approximately 11 to 15 liters) of coolant, which includes the radiator and the engine. Therefore, if you're asking about the total water capacity for the cooling system, it would be in that range.
There are 8 plugs total. 2 on the front of the block,1 on each side of the timing cover. There is 2 on each side of the block, look at where the motor mount bolts to the side of the engine, and 1 will be there and the other1 will be towards the back on the side and there is 2 on the back of the engine that you can not see unless you remove the transmission. THERE YOU ARE THATS 8
You need to find someone that has an advance timing light. With it they can set the total advance at 35 degrees at 2,000 RPM. That will be your best performance setting.
The ignition timing for a Generation V Big Block Chevy (BBC) typically ranges between 32 to 38 degrees of total timing at full throttle, depending on the specific engine build and fuel used. It's essential to check the manufacturer’s specifications and consider factors such as compression ratio and camshaft profile for optimal performance. For best results, tuning on a dynamometer can help fine-tune the timing for specific applications. Always ensure to start with a conservative setting and adjust based on engine feedback.
Actually the term freeze plug is a misnomer. They are casting plugs, and have nothing to do with protecting the engine from freezing. They are located on the side of the block just below where the heads contact the block. Some 400 small blocks have three per side and on some engines there are two in the front.l NEW ANSWER: He is right about the casting plugs and 3 and sometimes just 2 on the sides of the 400 SB engines. But all Chevy V-8 and V-6 engines have 8 total. on each side under the heads where they bolt to the block and 2 in the front 1 on each side of the timing cover and 2 in the rear of the engine block were the transmission bolts up to. That makes 8
how you determined the timing of activities and the total float?
The 6.0 is a GEN.II engine and that is when GM. redesigned the Chevy engines and Transmissions. The bell housing bolt pattern is total different. The entire engine block has been changed inside and out. Motor mounts are in a different place, EVERYTHING about it is different. 1999 is when Chevy redesigned everything. From 1999 down, the good old small and big block Chevy engines would fit anything, and could be modified with less money. Nothing from 1999 down and 1999 up will interchange with each other.
The duration of Total Girl - television block - is 2.5 hours.
