366 Chevy Big Block

This engine came to us with about 50,000 miles on it. It is a 1979 366ci big block with a forged 427 crank and 4 bolt mains. It's has a factory high rise intake with dual thermostats for increase cooling. Also, it has a large capacity 8 quart oil pan on it. A compression check showed that the rings and valves are sealing well. When I took the stock valve covers off to put the chrome ones on, the top of the heads and the valve train was VERY clean. This engine looks to have been very well maintained. That saying, there was really no reason to rebuild it. This big block looks and runs great. It has a fresh coat of Chevy orange and a new chrome kit on it. Here is a list of New parts that were installed.

Chrome kit: Timing chain cover Timing tab Valve covers Breather cap Dip stick and tube
14" Edelbrock chrome air cleaner with 4" element
Water pump
Fuel pump
Front crank seal
Cap and rotor
Spark plugs
Plug wires
PCV valve
and many new gaskets

This engine was sold to a gentleman in Apple Valley MN

nice dressed 366 big block, I have one I doped in a 1980 Chevy half ton 270 hydraulic cam with 10.5 pistons, roller rockers, ect cant keep the rear tires on the truck. lol

366 bbc is a low rpm torque beast, not much can be done with it . small bore, short stroke . 4 bolt block , forged crank , strong thum rods , small valves . with some fine tuning will produce a lot of torque for a small amount of money . not a race motor .

The 366 is a respectable motor. My brother bought one about 6 years ago for $150.00 and it only had 5000 miles on it. I dropped it in his 1976 3/4 ton camper special truck with a 400 turbo auto trans. Ran great but seemed to run alot better under load so we pulled it out and dropped in a built 355 small block. Thinkin bout building the 366 a lil bit and putting in my 85 s15
