Terms and Phrases
"3/4 cam"; (pronounced "three
quarter", not "three fourths". A "three fourths" cam
would only work 12 of the 16 valves. This is one of those (bogus and vague)
terms used in the old days for a high lift, long duration racing cam.
383"; a 350 block with a 400 crank
"700R4"; A good four speed automatic
transmission for small blocks.
"4L60"; As far as I know, it's just a new name
for the 700R4.
"balanced"; One of those over used and under
defined terms. It could include items like matching the weights of the rods
and also the pistons. Normally, it's used when talking about balancing the
rotating mass, it other words, the crankshaft. What you will never hear is
the accuracy of the balancing.
"Big Block"; Those big chevy engines. The
factory engines range in displacement from 396 to 502. They are all (for the
most part) the same size outside. Yes, you could make a 502 look like a 396.
"Blueprinted"; I really hate this term! It has
to do with making the dimensions of the parts in the engine more accurate
(and closer to the blueprint values). What you will almost never hear from
the average joe is what values were used!
"BTDC"; before top dead center
"Bump Stick"; A camshaft.
"CFM"; This is a carburetor term and stands for
"cubic feet per minute". It's the volume of air (over time) that
the carburetor can pass. Bigger isn't always better!
"COPO"; Central Office Production Order. I wish
that I could make up one!! It's an order to construct a non-standard car
configuration.Another over used term
"coupe"; A hard topped car without frames around
the door windows. A sedan has a frame that's mounted to the door. As an
example, a 70 Chevelle is a "coupe", a 64 Chevelle is a sedan.
"front clip"; the front end sheet metal forward
of the firewall. On a Camaro, this should include the fenders, hood, radiator
core support, bumpers, etc.
