BIG BLOCK CHEVY 396 ENGINE REBUILDING SERVICE

We have a 1965 Chevy Corvette 396 6.5L V8 long block engine in for a complete rebuild at the machine shop this week.

Compared to some of our other jobs, this came in pretty clean.  Check it out.
(The orange looks really bright online, my real pics are a lot duller)

Dropped off for complete rebuild

First up, we have to tear it apart and inspect all the parts.  Looking for any signs of cracks or severe wear and tear.  Everything gets scrubbed and hot tanked and re-inspected.

Cylinder heads get prepped for a Valve Job. Grind the valves, cut the seats, resurface the heads, install new exhaust guides and valve stem seals. Clean, Paint, and Assemble the 396 heads and they’re ready to bolt on the block.

We have to machine the block for the new pistons, so it’s off to Bore and Hone the cylinders.  Giving them a nice cross hatch finish.  Crank and Cam get a grind and polish.

    I came across your ad while searching for a 396 big block. I own a 1969 chevelle and am wanting to purchase a big block.
    Do your have any 396 or 427 big blocks available?
    Can I request a specific dated block and assembly plant?

      Jeff,
      Thank you for your inquiry, unfortunately we do not have a Chevy 396 engine in stock at this time. Those are hard to source.
      Regards,
      Lucinda
