We rebuilt the 402 in this 1970 Chevelle SS 396 this past week. Owner had an unfortunate failure with flat-tapped cam not surviving. We went through it and cleaned it all outc fresh bearings, and installed a ZZ502 hydraulic roller cam and full-roller rockers. Cut down the valve guides and converted to positive stop seals while installing appropriate valve springs. Runs excellent and sounds great!
