A prime example of the wrong race type parts in an otherwise stock engine follows. Sorry for using the "C" word but the same theory applys to FE's.
A customer wanted me to determine why his recently purchased matching number 454 Corvette with automatic and air would not idle. After tuning on the engine for a while, I determined that a large cam had been installed when the engine was rebuilt. Sure enough it had a huge hydraulic aftermarket cam with needle bearing racing rocker arms. Installing an original cam and rockers brought the engine back to specs and a smooth idle with the air on. Needless to say the customer was happy as the 454 wound up with gobs of bottom end power making it a tire smoking monster that would idle smooth at a stoplight. |
