This publication provides general information on components and procedures which may be useful when assembling, installing,
or servicing a 502/502 Chevrolet V-8 engine assembly. Topics include assembly notes, installation notes, recommended
accessories, parts lists, and engine specifications. Due to the wide variety of vehicles in which 502/502 engines can be installed,
some procedures and recommendations may not apply to specific applications. This publication is not intended to replace
comprehensive service manuals and parts catalogs which cover Chevrolet engines and components.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
Observe all safety precautions and warnings in the applicable service manuals when installing a 502/502 engine
assembly in any vehicle. Always wear protective eye wear and appropriate protective clothing. Support the vehicle
securely with jackstands when working under or around it. Use only the proper tools. Exercise extreme caution when
working with flammable, corrosive, and hazardous liquids and materials. Some procedures require special equipment
and skills. If you do not have the appropriate training, expertise, and tools to perform any part of this conversion safely,
this work should be done by a professional.
Legal and Emissions Information
This publication is intended to provide information about the 502/502 engine assembly and related components. This publication
also describes procedures and modifications that may be useful during the installation of a 502/502 engine assembly. It is
not intended to replace comprehensive service manuals and parts catalogs which cover Chevrolet engines and components.
Rather, it is designed to provide supplemental information in areas of interest to knowledgeable "do-it-yourself" enthusiasts and
mechanics. This publication pertains to engines and vehicles which are used off the public highways except where specifically
noted otherwise. Federal law restricts the removal or modification of any part of a federally required emission control system on
motor vehicles. Further, many states have enacted laws which prohibit tampering with or modifying any required emission or noise
control system. Vehicles which are not operated on public highways are generally exempt from most regulations, as are some
special interest and pre-emission vehicles. The reader is strongly urged to check all applicable local and state laws. Many of the
parts described or listed in this manual are merchandised for off-highway application only, and are tagged with the "Special Parts
Notice" reproduced here:

an on-street or highway vehicle.
