On my dad's 70 Camaro we chased an electrical issue. We tried a few things, new battery and stuff. It seemed to help at first but the issue would come back. Lights acting funny and starting issues. Come to find out the grounds were not good. We ran grounds to the frame from the battery. Then frame to the body. The ground was already run to the motor but we cleaned paint off the connection. Seemed like everything worked better after that. Oh and ground the core support as well. I know we painted everything as we were restoring the car and tried really hard to not scratch anything. That is great looking but doesn't transfer grounds very well.
A 454 bored 0.030 is considered a 460 c.i. To achieve a 468 c.i. displacement that engine would have to be bored 0.060. So either you are quoting the wrong bore or the wrong c.i.
Yup, you're right I never claimed to be smart, or a machinist. I'm just an asshole that wanted to have a big block chevelle. And now I do, and it's going to be labeled 454. 🍻
Hell yea man 💪 new subscribers I got a 68 c20 and a 64 comet keep up the great work

My battery ended up testing bad. But I will definitely keep that in mind if I have anymore issues.
