Re: PROJECT: How would a Chevrolet dealer build a shop truck in the early 1970s?

Was happy to see that the engine already had 030 forged pistons (L2256-030). I was assuming I'd reuse those. A motor machinist friend took a look at them. Bummed to find out the skirts were cracked. All of them. That could have contributed to the noises, too.

Plan to do a simple stock rebuild for now and start collecting LT-1 parts.
