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.inline_mediumwraptextrightContinuing the Legendary Small-Block series, we decided to check out some hot hydraulic-cammed combinations: the L79, L46 and L82.26718017/technical/engines_drivetrain/cams_heads_valvetrain/sucp_1003_classic_chevy_small_block_dyno_testingsucp_1003_01+chevy_small_block_hydraulic_testing+engine_block.jpgTrue
