Why you need to collect a diecast Chevelle
Why you need to collect a diecast Chevelle
Before we begin, lets start with a little history on one of Chevrolet's most popular mid sized muscle cars. The Chevelle was produced from 1964-1977. There were three different generations. 1964-1967, 1968-1972, and 1973-1977.
The Chevelle SS, or super sport, first appeared in 1964. It was available with a 283 cubic inch V8 rated at 220 horsepower or a 327 V8 rated at either 250 or 300 horsepower. For 1965 a 350 horsepower 327 V8 was available in the SS. In 1966-67 the body was restyled and a 396 cubic inch big block was available in different combos ranging from 325 horsepower to 375. 1968-72 brought on another new body style. In 1970 the 454 cubic inch V8 became an option. What many consider to be one of the baddest factory produced muscle cars of the era, the LS6 1970 Chevelle SS was born. It was rated at 450 horsepower and a tire shredding 500 ft-lbs of torque. The LS6 had a solid lifter cam, rectangle port cylinder heads and 11.25 to 1 compression ratio.
Today, trying to buy a nice used Chevelle usually requires a huge investment. Current muscle car prices are astronomical in some cases. The other option is to buy a project car to restore which can also require bucket loads of cash and time spent on labor. The affordable option is a diecast Chevelle. You can buy a diecast Chevelle in almost any year model. They are highly detailed replicas of the real thing, right down to the engine compartment, interior and undercarriage. Plus they don't require a large amount of space, and increase in value over time, just as a real Chevelle would.

Hey my name is Nate and I have been into muscle cars and drag racing my entire life. I like all brands of muscle cars and anything that goes fast. I also collect diecast American muscle cars.
Big block, solid lifter, valve clearances?
Have an iron block, aluminum heads, solid roller lifters, Jessel rocker shafts, what should my valve clearances be cold, and hot??
Well, generally it's going to be .030 intake and exhaust (hot). Adjust to those clearances cold then recheck at operating temp. But it would really help to know year, make, cu. in., which aftermarket heads, to be absolutely sure. On some engines it is .024 intake / .030 exhaust and so on, depends on the lifters and valve train geometry.. What brand of lifters and cam profile? Usually they will specify valve lash and adjusting procedures.
Edit: Wow, kinda' tight valve lash, "krazybob", ( might be a lttle tough on the old cam lobes), and then there is your timing numbers / advice with absolutely no details to base it on ( H.E.I.?..which brand? / mechanical advance curve?, and vacuum advance numbers?, cam timing, brand of lifters, cam specs, rocker arm ratio)...Look, S-51D, the best idea is to Do- It- Right using the correct adjustment specs. The data is out there, once the configuration is identified.
