Can I efficiently rebuild an internal combustion engine?

[Schurkey]

I did wash all the SBC 400 also, so that will go into the basement for future build.

Oiled, sealed in plastic bags that have had the air vacuumed out of them.

Otherwise, you'll have a rusted mess when you come back to it a few years from now.

Already done.

Got the head off tonight. Looks great, a little bit of ring ridge but not bad. Cyl one (second to last photo) has a weird mark in it that I'm concerned about. Right in the center of the photo. Once it's fully disassembled, I'll clean it and take it to my work and magnaglux it with our goods on setup.

Alright it is fully disassembled, I need to bring it downstairs to clean, and start my measurements to see where it's at. From there Magnaflux, and whatever machine work that it needs from there. Also built a workbench with my dad in the parts dept. / Engine room.

I'll have more updates on the engine later today or tomorrow. And pics.

If the Chevy 400 was so fresh, why didn't you just slap heads on it and go?

I will at some point. More excited by the Pontiac 400

I don't know if anyone commented on the 4L60e or not, but that's the early model ones.

Recognized the fixed (non-removable) bell housing. I don't know enough of them to tell you when the change to the removable bell housing came about though.

Yeah it's a 90s. I think 95 but I'd have to look at the electric plug

Removable bell came about around 1997 with the introduction of the C5 Corvette.
