Hey guys,
Went over to the speed shop today to check out how my engine was coming along and man is it lookin good! took a couple pictures to share..

Chevy 292..

losthope · 08-24-2010, 03:34 AM

very nice!

fryer1979 · 08-24-2010, 04:31 AM

Cool. The TH-350 in my Camaro is the same color, very cool.

70SOL · 08-24-2010, 05:10 AM

Cool color

What have you done to the internals? Any power estimates? I'm thinking seriuosly of keeping my I6 and turboing it just to be a little different than going the standard sbc route.

Thx

DLOE65, what shop did you take it to? Is it just a rebuild or hop up? Is the price reasonable 'cause my 292 may get a rebuild soon, looking for a good shop and Irvine's not too far.Here's a shot of my grease monster...

Shaky · 08-24-2010, 03:07 PM

Dig it! The green looks wild. I wussed out and painted my 250 chevy orange, but my 292 is up next and this may inspire me to go a little wild.

What ignition is that?

DLOE65 · 08-24-2010, 03:20 PM

Hey guys, thanks for the comments!

This is a full ground up overhaul, I am building this to drive everyday so everything has been replaced. Here's what I got in it so far..

Bore 30 over
full rebuild kit with pistons, gaskets, etc...
Clifford cam ( hydraulic lifters, new pushrods, valve springs)
fully rebuilt head
polished crank, balanced engine
offy 4-barrel intake
holley 390
langdon stovebolt cast headers
langdon stovebolt mini HEI kit

Santa Ana Speed Center in Santa Ana, CA did all the work. They did a awesome job and they are very reasonable.

Shaky · 08-24-2010, 03:24 PM

What's the advantage of the mini-HEI over a stocker-type HEI? Space?

DLOE65 · 08-24-2010, 03:37 PM

Yes, not as big and bulky as the other hei's also it runs a external coil,which all the replacent parts you can get at local autoparts store (which is good since I want to drive this badboy everyday.) if you call stovebolt he will explain it in detail, he's a cool guy.

JRBECK64 · 08-24-2010, 03:48 PM

Is there any chance you could make that a little greener??? Very nice Engine Rebuild. Are your rims going to be the same color?

I love inliners...

narx66gmc · 08-24-2010, 04:59 PM

that looks great! that intake is so cool.

DLOE65 · 08-24-2010, 07:49 PM

Yeah the wheels will be the same color with some nice radial white walls, the truck will be painted hot rod flatz camo flat brown, when I get home tonight I'll post pics of my truck and the truck I'm modeling. I'll have more engine pics on friday hopefully with the headers and billet side covers on.

-Derek

64 Pete · 08-24-2010, 09:30 PM

Pretty eye catching!
What green is that?
btw: The area between water pump and thermostat needs painted,
it will still be visible when engine is assembled.

Pete

Heater63 · 08-25-2010, 12:33 AM

DLOE,

CHECK THE FUEL PUMP!

It mounts upside down on the 292 !!!. If you turn the engine over like that you can cause damage!

Look at coffin's picture, or google for 292 pictures...

DLOE65 · 08-25-2010, 02:45 AM

The color is Dupli-color Engine Enamel "Grabber Green" it's bright in the pictures, but man is it bright in person!

Thanks Heater63, i'll flip it next time i am down at the shop, i'll make sure i give them a hard time about it too! haha.

here are a few pictures, one of my truck, and one of the truck i am using for inspiration..

sams60gmc · 08-25-2010, 11:04 PM

Looks good. You don't see many people fixin up thier I6's like that anymore.

likaroc13 · 08-25-2010, 11:14 PM

nice...looks like you have a pretty solid truck too, & i like your plan...my old '93 fullsize/stepside Chevy had a flat paint job & lime green steelies with moons & trim rings....yours should look great....let me know how you like the Hot Rod Flatz, cuz i'm thinking about using it on my '66 in the future

DLOE65 · 08-26-2010, 03:37 AM

Will do! , I'm going to order a sample quart of it tomorrow and do some test painting with it to see how it comes out. I'm curious how it holds up, can't seem to find anyone that's painted with it before.

dracko · 09-10-2010, 11:04 AM
