I bought the '67 Panel less engine/trans a few years back.
I had a 327 complete carb to pan I pulled from a '68 pickup;
I have a 350 trans I pulled from a 1973 Chevelle Laguna in 1992 or so.
bolted them together in the truck a few weeks back and have been working on gathering up the little pieces we needed to fire this thing up.

Today we had it running under it's own power

this video is pre-exhaust hookup. We still feed it through a gas can underneath because it is not pulling fuel from the tank. I'll probably end up dropping the tank this week for some clean up.

Yes, it is still for sale

Cool Video!

Sweet Joe!! I just can't believe you're gonna part with that truck though. It'd be a killer truck when done.

Joe67 · 09-25-2005, 04:54 PM

Thanks guys. A buddy did the editing for me

My problem is the same as many of you here, too many projects, not enough 'check book'

That was pretty sweet...I tried that with my digi cam and it couldn't handle the noise... not even with mufflers, it records like doo-doo.
Don't forget to put your fan belt back on there.

Joe67 · 09-26-2005, 08:52 AM

Yep - that video was pre-exhaust, pre-fan & belt

Still not getting fuel on it's own, we'll drop the tank later this week.

I'm looking for a decent 2 core radiator if anyone has one locally (SE Michigan)

Joe67 · 09-27-2005, 09:47 PM

Truck is running under it's own fuel supply, driveshaft is in, radiator is out being recored

A few steps closer

Congrats, firing up the engine progress is always great!

edmonton72 · 09-28-2005, 02:46 PM

Sweet dude, i love the idle without exhaust, sounds awesome. How long did you run it for. I plan to get the 355 running before winter, just need a complete chassis to put it on, my cousins taking his time painting.

Joe67 · 09-28-2005, 03:00 PM

It ran for a bit until the float stuck. Now it runs just fine

Joe67 · 10-12-2005, 08:42 PM

OK, The Panel took it's maiden voyage tonight, to the gas station and back home

It is still for sale if anyone is interested, now it has a 327 and 350 auto trans
