Hello everyone!
 

I just wanted to introduce myself... My username is burg54, I am 39 years old(1972), serve in the USAF and am happily married with children. I finally found the vehicle I have been looking for about a month ago. I looked at trucks and other cars but fell in love with a black w/blue racing stripes '72 chevelle(SS clone). It has a 383 stroker, world s/r heads, edelbrock performer intake, crane cam(don't know the specs), a holley 670 street avenger that I am currently not agreeing with, M-21 4-speed and 4.11 gears. I drove it for a couple weeks, then I noticed a noise from the roller rockers on the passenger side... by the time I was within a mile from my house...POP... bent a pushrod! I just finished putting her back together with all new pushrods/lifters. It took me a minute to figure out the pre-load on the lifters, but once I got it, she fired right up! Happy again! I am hoping to learn as much about this car/engine/transmission as possible along with any other little tid-bits you guys throw out there! I had to let go of my Harley to get this, but I am very excited! I will add pics as soon as possible.

Welcome from another 72 owner x3 if I count my truck. Thanks for your service and we look forward to pics.

Welcome to the site, hope you enjoy that Chevelle. Sorry to hear you had to give up the Harley though, hope that's just a temporary thing, I know I gave up some seat time when I got my Chevelle. How about some pics of both the car and bike?

PS - I too would like to thank you for your service.
