The big block is heavier, plus I have a full serpentine up front. Maybe I had more gas.

Ratman74 · 12-18-2017, 08:06 PM

broke in the new tires

jimmythompson1964 · 12-18-2017, 08:09 PM

Did a road trip from East TN to central SC or the family Christmas get together.

rvrfoot · 12-18-2017, 08:22 PM

Took all my parts to the sandblasters.

BabyBlue64 · 12-27-2017, 08:57 AM

Nothing. The bastards won't let me out

awbrown · 12-30-2017, 05:50 PM

For the first time in 4 months I thought maybe I would see if the old girl would start,and at 15 degrees she did .. not like a late model efi vehicle but she did start ............

**Chevy Fleetside** · 12-30-2017, 07:32 PM

I drove down to Santa Cruz to pick up this 327. Supposed to be a rebuild of about 30.000 miles ago. It is clean under the valve covers and the spark plugs were clean and brown. Don't know why the first engine pic is Green. Kind of weird. Also dose anyone one know what kind of car this bell housing belongs too. I have never seen one on the right side.

TJ's Chevy · 01-02-2018, 01:26 AM

Warmed her up and headed to town for a soda pop before working in the shop.

Pontiacgurudan · 01-13-2018, 12:27 AM

Drove mine to work the last few days since the daily is down, 90 mile round trip. Still allot of work to do but it's driving really good since the upgrades. I need to do a build thread on mine, I'm terrible about taking photos as I go.

66C10LB · 01-13-2018, 01:24 AM

Glad to hear it's running good, PontiacGurudan.

Pontiacgurudan · 01-13-2018, 01:34 AM

Thanks, it only had about twenty miles of shake down miles before I hit the highway and hoped for the best. Crossmember swap with power disc brakes, add a tbi 5.7 and 4l60e that I cut the harness up and reworked. It's made 3 trips to work so far with no problems. Brakes and steering feel so good it's amazing and it goes 75 on a whiff of throttle in overdrive. I need to get my Speedo working this weekend. Going to try to put the 1995 guts behind the stock dash. We'll see how it goes.

Bet you get more head turns with that ride ........

Those are some crazy side view mirrors. Do you have a close up?

awbrown · 06-12-2018, 05:31 PM

I finally had time to get Ol' Blue fixed , sat in the driveway since last summer with a trans leak.. but I finally got to fixing it and drove it to work today.. Feels good !!

I took advantage of the holiday schedule to go visit family in NC. I've taken the truck to Daytona which is only an hour away, so this was the first multi-day road trip! Even though NC is a day drive, I planned a stop on the way up in Charleston SC. I enjoyed it enough to stop again on the way back. I had to get the tires rebalanced in NC, the radiator cap is leaking some I think and had to disconnect the speedo on the way back to Charleston, but otherwise it did great.

Went and hung out with the tourist's at Cannery Row in Monterey

I have a concourse show this weekend so figured I better clean a little and finally painted my throttle spring the almost right color.

**The Rocknrod** · 07-11-2018, 02:14 PM

I need longer studs too.

raidmagic · 07-13-2018, 01:24 PM

Brought it to work, went to Home Depot and Chick-Fil-A.
