Default Please Help! Need info & Advice

Need the stock engine specs for 1973 350 cid, L-82. I'm looking for info on stock piston type, compression ratings, camshaft type, crankshaft type, Cylinder head info, clearances, etc. Does anyone have this info or know where I can obtain it?? In addition, I'm pulling the 350 from my 73 Corvette coupe this weekend and would appericate any tips that would make this task go smoothly. Thanks now for your reply. Mike

Someone on the forum will probably be able to help, but you should also be able to get those kinds of specs from the specifications guide that Chevrolet will provide FREE by calling 800-222-1020. Just give them your VIN and they'll mail you the package.
