What you doing this time Bill ?

Not a thing....

Thing was a car? by Volkswagon way back when.

I think John is confusing threads again by starting with the last word. :)

I stopped by the speed shop to check on the progress of the 70. Should be finished up this week in time for a couple of cruises planned for this next weekend!

Bill,

If you are swapping motors, what are you doing with the old one (its a 468 right?) Or are you just pulling it to do more to it?

The 496 is coming out for a solid roller and Brodix heads upgrade...a "more power Scotty" thing.

On the stand right now is a fresh, mild, all forged 396 +.060" (408) thats going into the '67 which is being detuned. Less stall (3500 to a 2200) and rear gear (4.11 to a 3.31) along with the addition of a Vintage AC system.

Then I'll find a new project for the 496...:banana:

But I will be at the Acworth cruise on Saturday with a few just off the plane Irish friends.

I was sleep typing I think. Bill ,Im not sure if we will make the acworth cruise in or not with all thats going on with the rental house.Trying to put it all back together for new and improved tennants I hope.

I wish I could say I did something with the Chevelle today but it didnt happen.

Walked out and looked at it. Waiting for my clutch fan to come back from being restored.

installed my sending unit and ordered my new straps and screws should be here tomorrow. install it tomorrow and just might run my fuel lines to the fuel pump lets see! :)

Adjusted valves, tightened header bolts, tweaked on the carb a little...and DROVE it. Bowtie smiley
The 496 feels like it's gained 50hp in this cooler weather...
