That looks like an extremely heavy duty block. Looks physically impossible to blow a head gasket with the massive real estate between cilinders and water jackets...
Good video, more knowledge to add to my mental toolbox. I used your "small block Chevy ultimate budget build" video alot for inspiration on my last engine build, an ultra cheap $1400 with machine work 305 carb to oil pan. I have the Dyno video on my channel if you are curious of the combo and power numbers. Didn't make anything earth shattering....but I did greatly improve it from it's factory rating of 165hp @4000rpm 245ftlbs @2800rpm 😂. You may find the peak number interesting considering the heads I used. But pretty honest and telling, and in my community section I posted the conditions and correction factor for the Dyno.
Always great content, thank you. Also thanks for the advice on the phase converter for my PH2000, its up and running now. What platform do you use for donations? don't remember which past vid you shared it. Would like to donate to keep the advice coming. Have more questions on sb chev iron head and guide, core drill tooling. Thanks.
@Myvintageiron7512 my pleasure, brother. You have a lot of knowledge and know your trade big time. And if I lived close, I would sweep the floors to just learn what you are doing. The wife and I have a few projects and a few engines that will need rebuilding. I am going to look and see if your tailgate 350 rebuild has a playlist.
I would also repeat that same gap test with a lower and smaller gap gauge.... Go from the 3 to 2 then 1 and even half.... If fine on less than 1 you know you have mint block....
I've been gearing up for a couple engine rebuilds but having trouble justifying the price for a Starrett or Mitutoyo dial bore gauge. I try to stay away from cheap tools when it comes to precision. Do you have any recommendations for a middle-of-the-road option? I couldn't make out on the video what you're using.

That thing would eat up some nitrous man
Great to see you back.
Keep them coming

Great info bud. It seems like you always make a video on what I am doing at the time.
Cool!
Good to see you back and always looking forward for your videos and how you talk about how to do it thumbs up 👍

What Chevy block is this?
It's from a series of GMC truck engines. This one is likely a 305 or 351 cubic inch.
Good eye it's a 305 V6 out of a GMC pickup
