I would stick to that plan

**Palf70Step** · 10-10-2005, 05:45 PM

Really getting into it. Can't wait to see how she goes back together for you.

Sweet motor you have for her already. Progress looks good. Stay motivated.

Got new dropped center section for trailing arms--if anyone gets one of these, be ready to redrill the holes out. It is a great product, but doesn't line up to holes on the frame that well.

What product is that? ECE?

i was thinking I may get one, but I've also been looking at drilling holes and welding in 3" pipe.

Inthuwind · 10-10-2005, 08:47 PM

Yes, it's ECE. Holes were just a tad off. No biggie though--seems to be pretty solid.

*72CSTC5* · 10-11-2005, 02:14 AM

Did you call ECE about it and asked them whats up?

Inthuwind · 10-11-2005, 09:03 AM

Not yet-it was minor, and only took me a couple minutes to use my stepping bit to drill out. I'm sure they have had others use this product. I might call them tonight.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-11-2005, 10:36 AM

What has been done to the 396? Looks like a great project!

Inthuwind · 10-11-2005, 04:38 PM

396 bored 30 over,port and polished heads,forged pistons,Extreme Energy Comp Cam(286),Comp Cam 1.71 roller rockers, Edelbock RPM Air Gap intake(polished)oval port~~

Inthuwind · 10-11-2005, 08:01 PM

396 came out of the '69 Camaro-375hp--now-should be close to 500hp

**Yukon Jack** · 10-12-2005, 11:21 AM

Inthuwind · 10-12-2005, 05:09 PM
