'Nuther Newbie!

Thanks for the add. My plan is a bit off from most I've seen here. I have a 1964 Chevelle 300 Series two door station wagon. Since Chevrolet was still making the 348 and 409 in 1964, it would have been (theoretically) possible for Chevrolet to have built an early Chevelle with one of these iconic engines. I've decided to put a 348 in my wagon with an M21 4 speed behind it. I'm going to include the fender badging, but apparently Chevrolet didn't make the 348 fender numbers like they did for the 409, so I haven't decided what to do about that. Thoughts?

Welcome should be a neat combo.

Welcome. I’m sure the big cheese around here, Bob, may be able to give you some pointers on your install. He has a Chevelle with a 409.

Welcome to the site! Sounds like a awesome project any chance you'll have it ready for our Bowling Green Race?

Welcome Bruce. Any Car, with a 348-409, is a Keeper.

Sadly, no. I'll be out of the country then. Bowling Green is a pretty good haul from Colorado too!

Regarding your interest in a "348" badging you are correct in that GM did not make a numeric badge (they did have some other indicators but those won't fit your vehicle). We did have a guy who slipped a 348 in a 1961 Pontiac and I believe he had a 348 badge that he had specially cast for the occasion. Not sure i that's something you would be interested in, it would be a one-off.

Good luck in your build!

sounds like a fun project.
Show lots of pictures and busted knuckles.

I've tried to download some pics of my build, but keep getting a message that the file is too large. They are just standard jpg format. What am I doing wrong?

 

[La Hot Rods]

If you open them in Paint you can reduce the size of the fine and upload them.

 

[Bruce Smith]

Probably beyond my level of skill. lol

With the images, I believe the site now resizes large files, I posted 2 images that were originally 1.2M each and that went fine.

Were they jpg files? I couldn't even post one jpg photo.

Thank you. I have a lot to learn!
