There was a great article on a BB rebuild in the 2005 Annual of Musclecar Review magazine. They worked on a 66 396/360hp engine...very straight forward with some mild performance upgrades. The key elements to the good power they made was in the larger 2.19/1.88 valves, mild pocket porting and the Crane Power Max H-272 cam...this combined with a garden variety Edelbrock manifold and 750 Holley did the trick. The engine made 384hp at 5,300rpm and peak torque was 456 at 3,500rpm. I have tried to locate this article on line but there is no website for the magazine(how old school
)..if someone wants a copy just send me a PM and I will send one. These upgrades would work well on a stock appearing 396/325 setup...
