Went to the rod run in Daytona today. Was able to find an intake for my 69 427, got a front fender for the 68. Was not able to find a tail light housing for the 68 though.

Well the boat is pretty much finished now for all intents and purposes. I am getting a new motor next month. I just put all new seals in the outdrive and pressure tested it. So I been sitting on my hands bored.
I built a 327 and used my cars original crank in it. It has solid lifters and a Z-28 cross ram intake. Then the car was looking so good I wanted to do a big block. Back then it didn't matter I would be doing bodywork for 10 years. Anywho I talked to my brother that old motor is on the stand still in his garage. He talked me into it. It is coming home and i gonna put it in the car. At least it will run and run good. It has a silly solid lifter cam like I liked in my youth. But it will sound wicked as all get out. I miss working on the chev. I need to get a can of orange paint and get to polishing on this intake. I got to rebuild the carbs and make linkages. we got places to go and people to see. |

Glad to hear it, hopefully you'll be driving your car come spring. I am going to save the crank, rods, sheetmetal from the 307... and scrap the rest. I have a couple of spare 350 blocks, etc. Doubt I will ever do anything with it, but who knows? I always wanted to do a 66-67 Chevy II with a high-winding small block and a 4 speed.
