Having played with SBC as road and race engines for decades the two best things about them is the oiling system that is the best for the day and even now. Then the 5 bolts per cylinder to retain the heads unlike the oppositions [and LS!!] 4. That coupled with the shim headgaskets made the engine very stiff. For an iron head engine use them, they are still the best and .020 or less as well. The tin rockers on a standard or near standard engine running under 6000 are reliable enough though this style rocker always loses out right lift. The heads themselves were ok and in the early days modded to make serious power, though so could the opposition who some times started with better base. The intake manifold design is very efficient, Edelbrock effectively copied it for the Performer. As [for standard and near std engines] the Q jet as well. The cam lobes were always too small as were the lifter bases, the failure of thousands of the engines as they wiped off a lobe. The cooling system is as good as any, better than most. Though I do agree with Smokey Yunicks views that taking the hotwater from the exhaust side of the head would be better [for endurance race engines] Too build a strong engine for a classic car that is reliable, driveable a 10-1 comp with the better fuellie [or 292] heads, factory intake [or Performer] Q jet with a mild hydraulic cam with springs to suit [many mild will cop factory springs] will make a gutsy 350 driveably HP which is better than a lumpy grumpy 400 for a street car with a std tranny [auto or manual] and eg a 3.08 diff. The 3.36 fitted factory to many cars will make better performance at the expense of highway economy. Though a 3.36 is better for a powerglide car. 3.08 for a manual or turbo trans.
