68venable

Very cool.

Short video of it starting. First half with Gopro then second half with DSLR camera. I think the DSLR recorded the sound better.

I was wondering the same thing 😂🤣 Dont tell my wife.

I'm not sure yet. I put about 50 easy miles on it yesterday. Roadkill wouldve went straight to the burnouts and donuts. Its got a limited slip 2.73 rear end so I guess time will tell if it will do a burnout. I may try to make a video today of the exhaust at start up and some drive by videos later this week.

Well we finally got it all in and the exhaust done. I drove it back to my house yesterday. I still have plenty of wiring cleanup to do but otherwise its already a joy to drive.

Very nice

Frosty, I went with a TH350 from TCI. It arrived today. Now I just need some good weather to fall on a weekend soon. Thanks Wrongway.

That looks like a real cool car. Good luck with it. Dont forget to come back and update us.

I ordered a Blueprint 350 (keeping it Chevy). I'm just waiting for the trans to ship now. I'm real happy with how the interior turned out. I just have a couple of things on the interior to finish. It will look and feel good from the driver's seat soon. It wont look too impressive from the outside though LOL https://www.jegs.com/i/Blueprint-Engines/138/BP3501CTC1K/10002/-1

It has arrived. Dyno sheet shows max hp is 378 at 5600 and max torque is 413 at 3900rpm.

Not a whole lot to update. The 305 didnt work out. It was a $400 gamble that got us moving for a while. I replaced the bent up front bumper with a better one from a 1976 Lemans. The interior is basically done except I want to color the lower door panels to their original color. I have an 350 engine with 365hp and 405lbs of torque on the way as well as a built TH350 trans. The engine arrives tomorrow and the trans in a couple of weeks due to a delay. I bought a different front clip that looked real good at the junkyard and then not so good once I got it home and started cleaning it up. I will try to upload the interior photos. I still have 10 years of metal work to do if I decide I want to LOL. More updates to come soon, I hope.

That was a lot of cars to choose! It took a while but I got it done. What a relief now that its over!

Thanks for the info. I will chack that out.

Not much progress lately. Got some quotes for seat upholstery and while I was out threw the alternator belt. Then I took the seat and carpet out, I found a hole through the floor. I crawled underneath to see the hole from underneath and also found a core plug or freeze plug leaking. I also noticed someone had wired a piece of 2x4 to a crossmember but couldnt figure out why exactly. So Ill be patching the hole in the floor pan, spraying rust converter everywhere and installing some carpet when my order arrives.

Ill agree with that. It was ahead of its time for sure. People love ugly little crossover things now.
