Thanks for the offer Ray!! I know my emergency pad is good but I'll have to double check my gas pedal. I will pay ya for it if I need it.


Got the the seat pan welded in tonight and the rest of the floor primered. Depending on if we get hit by the big storm headed east that's supposed to drop about an 1" of ice and 4-9 inches of snow sunday, my uncle is supposed to come over and we are supposed to start replacing the quarter panels. He's has worked in a body shop since he was 15 which is about 40 years ago, so he is going to give me some guidance since I don't really have any idea how to tackle that job.

Pretty happy with how this turned out. Can't hardly tell it was replaced.

Hope the storm misses you Justin. Looks like you have a project to work on if it does.

Been a little while since I've posted anything in here, because the work has been slowed down because of storms, grandparents in the hospital and me getting a stomach bug. Here's a few things I still have been able to get done.
Was able to get started on quarter


Got a bad section of the trunk floor cut out while we were in there.

Was also able to get the trans cleaned up some and the motor tore apart and sent to the shop to get it hot tanked and magnafluxed.


These heads any good?

441s flow OK for a smog era head. It is one of the casting #s the roundy round guys like for the stock classes.

So would these heads be OK to use with an edelbrock rpm cam and intake or should I try to find a set of vortec heads? I'd kinda like to raise the compression up some since these are 74cc heads and was thinking maybe putting two eyebrow pistons and .015 head gasket?

That cam is archaic, get yourself a Clay Smith legend series Camshaft. I just helped a friend do a 350 with one of their cams. It greatly exceeded our expectations. His set up is a ZZ4 short block, aftermarket vortec heads (2.02/1.60 valves, 185cc runners, made by ProMaxx) Clay Smith hydraulic roller, comp roller tip rockers, performer rpm air gap, 750 dp holley, 1.75" headers. We were shooting for 425-430. It made 475, and 510 tq. It's going to be a handfull.
