Chevrolet’s small block from 1955 to 1970: the 265 and its Power Pack, the 283 on two and four barrels, the L79 and the solid-lifter L76 327s, the Z/28’s 302, the 350 L48 and LT-1, a 350 restomod with a Tremec T56, and the detailed SBC 350 with its TH350. With three-speeds, Powerglides, Super T-10s and log or ram’s horn manifolds.

Its heart is Doug Broast’s “L79 Chevrolet small block COMPLETE ENGINE COMPONENTS”, a CAD model of the 1965 L79 down to the valvetrain, used with Doug’s permission: thanks, Doug! The other models come from the GrabCAD authors in the credits. If one of them is yours and you’d rather it weren’t here, open an issue and it comes out.
