Decked Builder Serial Plus Access To

This is a cost-effective solution for development teams adding developers to support existing applications, because you get the latest version plus access to the earlier versions that you need at no extra cost.

We recommend purchasing CBuilder 10.4 if you need any of these older versions so you also get the latest version.

Decked Builder Serial Free Access To

CBuilder 10.1 Berlin includes free access to earlier versions 7 and 2007-10 Seattle.

CBuilder 10 Seattle includes free access to earlier versions 6 and 2007-XE8.

CBuilder XE8 includes free access to earlier versions 6 and 2007-XE7.

CBuilder XE7 includes free access to earlier versions 6 and 2007-XE6.

We recommend purchasing the latest version to get access to select earlier versions as described above.

See the Supported Versions List for the latest information by version.

A standard block (below left) will have very little space between the hole and deck; a tall deck block will have around 12 between the hole and deck (below right).

Chevy engine casting numbers has additional info including links to several sites that have casting numbers broken down to application, etc.

Decked Builder Serial Code Will Usually

The date code will usually be found in the same area, sometimes on the opposite side from the casting number, but not always.

Usually the last three numbers arent repeated, but there are cases like the SBC head cn 462 that- for some unknown reason- was reused 5 times Fortunately this is rare.

There will sometimes be two lines of numbers and letters, later engines had just one line of numbers and letters.

Mid 70s-up blocks use the short, fat pad (top example in the picture below).

During this period, there were both roller and flat tappet (non roller) equipped engines available.

In EFI applications, these engines will have a block off plate covering the mechanical pump area.

Casting number 880 blocks have been seen both with and without mechanical pump provisions, and casting number 148 is mostly without the mechanical pump provision.

In any event, these blocks originally had a flat tappet cam and non-roller lifters, no spider, and no cam thrust plate.

These blocks are fine if you dont care about the roller cam.

This isnt a problem in most cases, but if a stroker crank is being considered, this should be looked into to be sure therell be no issues due to the lack of piston support at BDC.

The differences will be in the location of the TDC line, weight, thickness and diameter of the dampers.

Aftermarket dampers usually use a bolted on counterweight, which is also usually easily seen.

The 454 can be IDd by the balancer having the inner hub cast with an integral counterweight (see image below).

A 454 will also have a different flexplateflywheel, having an added counterweight that is missing from the other displacement BBC engines.

If it fits the walls are probably not thick enough to bore to 4.250.

It is only to judge whether the block is a candidate for sonic testing.

These engines were made to stand up to heavy duty use like bus and dump truck, etc.

The tall deck height was to facilitate the height of the four ring piston used in the TD BBC engines.

The bottom ends were forged and the rods were heavy duty-and heavy in weight.

Here is a thread showing a budget build up of a 427 tall deck BBC.

The distributor is different and may have a different oil pump drive arrangement.
