Dyno Testing chevy's Famous Hydraulic Cammed Small Blocks - Legendary Small-Block Shootout-The Sequel

In the continuation of Legendary Small-Block Shootout, we are taking a L79, L46, L82 Chevy small-blocks and put them through dyno tests to see which is top gun!The continuation of this series came about after a letter from reader John Tremul requesting we take a look at another set of serious small-blocks. The primary difference between these and the previous legendary trio (September 2009 Super Chevy) is cam timing. Where the L76, DZ302 and LT-1 were factory equipped with solid-lifter cam profiles, the L79, L46 and L82 were equipped with the more user-friendly hydraulic flat tappet cams. While the solid-cammed small-block owners might be tempted to look down their noses at mush-bucket mice, the L79-powered Chevy II is regarded as one of hottest and quickest factory muscle machines ever produced.
