YA ok so I'm a little slow ....I fixed it:o

i'm wondering why you'd buy a car with all the printing, arrows and circles on it showing the needed body work.


hehehe just kidding ;)

doesn't look like it's in too-too bad of shape. how long you think the project will be a project ?

Hi Kevin. Check with Big Dave on what year 454 block to use. I know some years are just boat anchors. He would have all the specs to look for on the 454... Nick

Looks like a great project car.

Did you have it soda blasted to remove the paint??

Well I just ordered a 4.25 stroke steel crank and 6.375 H beam rods so the 454 is growing :thumbsup:

Good news is it takes about five hundred cubes to run 320 cc intake runners (rectangular port HiPerf heads) on the street, so your 496 makes that an option now. (hopefully you are not trying to feed this thing through the 190cc "Peanut Port" round port heads found on late model 454 truck engines).

Have to keep it mild enough for the wife .I don't need another all out race car.
I want to drive this one worry free.

Cleanning up the bottom though it was interesting that the rear sub frame and the cross members and braces are galvenized.
