Being a Cheby fan of the old days I decided to take on this project for one reason. The car was free. It was abandoned at a property a co worker purchased so I legally took it over. So here are a few pics from the beginning to the end.

I stripped out the interior and removed the remaining vinyl top. Plan to put a vynl top back on cause I like the old school look.









The engine was a 2V 351. Not the original top end at least. The block was .060 over and had 1 bent push rod. I sold the whole motor and started fresh. Now I have a D0AE-J block .020 over with KB-177's zero decked.





Had a set of 2V heads but sold them and picked up a set of D1AE-GA CC heads. In the process of porting them and having new valves/guides/studs/grind and flow done so I can get the cam selected.

More to follow at a later date.

Putting on the intake today and finishing up the last touches. Should be in the car this weekend and running by next weekend. I'm stoked!

Just need to add alternator, belts ect.

Good work, now get it installed!

I swapped out the 800 Holley cause it had issues. Put on an 850 Speed Demon and it made a big difference.

Very nice!!
I love the second generation cats. I have a 68 XR7G clone that I am doing up with a 351C. If you don't mind me asking, where did you find the coolant tube, the one that is just to the right of the dip stick when looking at the front of the motor? Mine is totaly gone.

Any machine/parts shop should have them. Should only be a couple of bucks. When I got my block done they included a new one.
