    L78 Build Question

    Guys;

    I'm having an original L78 built out for my 1965. I was lucky enough to find a fairly unmolested 962 block with an April date.

    I've gone though the archives and have seen a few posts regarding the rear cam journal needing to be grooved.. (Clem and Duke weighed in as I recall).

    Can I ask you guys to let me know what needs to be done specifically and why?? The folks doing the work are very good but restoration engine work is not their main business. We will be using an after market solid cam. I want to make sure that this gets done properly...

    Thanks in advance!

    Joel

    Joel:

    The latest issue of Corvette Enthusiast magazine (May 2008, Volume 11 Issue 5) has an article by John Hinckley on this very subject. Complete with color pictures and question/answer. Article is titled FEELING GROOVY.

    An excellent technical write-up on this subject. Suggest contacting magazine for extra copy, or find one still on the news-stands.

      Larry;

      Just goes to show how closely I read the magazines I get (not). I should have that copy someplace. Thanks for the reply...
