I have read much of what is in the article and have read about the 366 short deck engine but have never ran into any of those parts over the years.The short deck block used 2.5 mains against all the others being 3 or 3.25 mains.I have owned and run into many 366 std deck parts and engine.Never talked to anyone that had there hands on the short deck 366.I actually built one with a 303 short deck block,a 57-58 forged crank and custom internals.Tom

Motor Trend article from 1969 on the Firebird and the 303. Also a couple of low resolution pics from the same era.

Tunnel Port engines all suffer the same malise: The bottom end can't withstand the super high revs (9000) the engines are capable of. Ford had their 302 TP engine in 1968. ALL of them blew up on the race track.

This little engine at 9.5 CR and small street cam made 435HP,Steve at Westech figure 440,I figured 425 so both were close.Not bad for a block that was designed for 185 HP turbo charged.Tom
