Chevy rules end of story

Ponchos really were not bad motors.The thing that has busted me the most is everyone in the ponitiac areas screems poncho but half of them have a olds motors and seek the 455s most of all.I hit the T/A sites sometimes to hear the gurgle.You see the guys with a 403 olds and they have no idea of...

I know the moment exactly.I had been over my sisters sanding my uncles show bike tanks.My dad called and said we a a resto come in.At that time we would all stand together and get a picture of us before and after the car was done for a customer and our scrapbook.My dad called my sis and said I...

I was thinking of getting a basket case and doing it in white with baby blue interior.Now you have me tinking blue with whilte interior and white accents.Nice car please post pics when together.What paint did you use was it a deltron or emron?Looks like it layed nice for not being buffed or wet.

Any pics I may have parts that my pop left.

We had 1 wheel fall off(cotter key broke) and the car stayed up on 3 wheels atleast for a 1/2 mile till be realised it and stopped.It would pull a wheelie with no problem also.(driver error ofcourse).Luckily ours was all stock and we had no need to fabricate parts.I miss that car

Personally,If its not broke dont fix it.I prefer the electrical pump but its not going to make a mojor difference if your just barking tires and runing from light to light keep the mechanical.Thats something you can always change later without a big major but the way I see it if something is...

Ok there is something wrong there.I use http://www.nastyz28.com/sbchevy/sblock.html for maros only.Thats been right on for me.Now on that site they have suffix codes also and groupe codes. 010 also come back as a 327(not 305)(that would be great).In the maro fashon (of wich you have stated the...

Works well on built 454s

Sometimes your first thoughts are the best.:rolleyes:

Thanks, nice to meet you.

Its round and the block is 655.Thats a 348 and the one you can stroke to a 409 from the information I get here and been told.Just did not understand why the block had no X and only a Z.Thats why I want to try to decode the number.Wish there was a way I could post pictures.

Could you guys please decode these numbers so for sure Im not goffing up.Thanks in advance.I took all the numbers off the heads and block actually just off the one head but they are original matching set so 1 should tell.Thank bigtime as I am basically dumping it off and want to make sure its...

whats the difference on the z11 motor?what do we look for other then intake?and numbers stamps etc?

Been peeping at info on this site for a while.The other day tried to register but something went wrong so I tried again today and it worked.I turn wrenches better then computors.Me and a home computor is a screwdriver and a hammer and it will work.:rofl My dad owned classic auto restoration...
