Here's a before and a couple of after pictures for those who have asked how it's coming.
Was:
a 348 powerglide, power steering, standard brakes, original car.
Now:
375 HP, 430 ft. lb. standard bore 409
700R4
Power disc brakes
2" drop spindles
605 steering box
New wiper motor
Heater core
Tach
New rear brakes
New 1" rear sway bar
All new shocks
An extra 6 circuit panel & wiring clean up
Alternator
Driveshaft shortened, balanced, new u-joints & steady bearing.
....and lots of polish and probably some things I've forgott
.......... New Aluminum Rad got here tonight. It will idle for about 20 minutes with the original rad and she's starting to get hot. The rad looked good so I had to try it. .........
I hope to melt a little rubber this weekend, and get some pictures outside. I'm sure they will be better.
