396 sbc


Recommended Posts

Honestly the biggest thing is cost.. I grew up with a bunch of old angry car guys and I really don't think the roller cams are worth the trouble.

 

id have to retro fit my block too.

 

Solid flat tappets also sound pretty sweet :) I like the old technology.

The real potential of the 396 cu in will not come out with solid flat tappets.  There will be valve float or excessive cam wear.  Solid Roller Lifters and camshaft will yield less friction and can use more aggressive camshafts.  Will also allow stiffer springs allowing more upper RPM thus more area under the curve.  HP and TQ cost MONEY.
