What's up everyone. My Name is Mark and I live in Philly. Married with 3 children. After 7 Novas and 2 Camaros I own my first Chevelle. It's a 68 with a nasty 468. 68's have always been my favorite year. I pulled the heads and have them in the shop right now getting an overhaul. Info on the car is 468 GM 077 rect port Aluminum heads with port work 2.25/1.88 valves, forged bottom end, o-ringed block, 11:1 Compression, big solid roller, Team G Intake. I removed all the NOS. Had Hooker 2 1/8 Super Comps which I am replacing with Hooker 2 " Ceramic coated Comps. Full 3" Flomaster exhaust, Turbo 400 3500 stall Rev Manual VB with a Brake, 12 Bolt with 4:10's, 295/65/15 Drag Radials on Convo Pros. Stock Dash and door panels, has back seat, not tubbed or cut up. 12 Point cage.

I really love this car. I've traded 3 cars in the last 3 years. Hopefully this is the keeper.
Here's a few pics:

Very nice car Mike. So what are your plans for your car ? Are you going to build it to drive or to Drag race ?

I'm gonna enjoy it this summer. I do shows and cruise nights. The NOS set up is up for sale.

You should head over to the NOCC show in Strongsville, Ohio. It is a really fun show put on by a great Chevelle Club. There is a forum just for car shows here, you should check it out. A lot of the people here go to that show.

Update
 
I had the heads completely redone and have them back on. Gotta adjust valves button up the top end and fire it up. I sold the Convo pros and the Car now has Draglites on it.

I will post pics as soon as I get it out.

Please post pics. I am dying here in Michigan. The weather sucks and I keep hearing of others driving their cars and I am so jealous. So pics would be greatly appreciated. :)
