Engine Swap - Easy Big Block Swap
We filled the 502 big-block with fresh oil and coolant, rough-timed it, then cranked it over to bring it to life (the engine had been dyno tested and was already broken in). With the distributor vacuum advance disconnected, the initial timing was set to 12 degrees BTDC with a total advance of 36 degrees, then the carb floats and air idle bleeds were adjusted. Because the 502 was taller than the 355, we had to switch to a drop-base-type K&N air filter assembly (arrow) for hood clearance. View Related Article
