What Did You Do To Your Chevelle Today

[QUOTE=yellow69;64502]

What is your engine combination? I got one for my folks 72, hoping it plays nice with the 454 in their car. It's not radcal, but far from "stock."/QUOTE]
30 over 454 street, edelbrock cam, heads, intake performer rpm package. Have a 4 speed, I like it so far. My double pumper, when running good ran rich. This is a world of difference for throttle response and street driving compared to a holley dp.

Glad to hear. Theirs is a .040" over Gen V 454 from ATK. GMPP ZZ502 HO cam, cnc'd AFR 265s, Edelbrock Torker II intake. I want it to have good power and road manners so they can enjoy it.

Not happy at all right now. Put the hood on, not fitting like it was before. I am begining to think the hinges are shot. I swear, I would get my gaps good... open and close the hood a few times - and the damn thing had moved. I have some paint chips and gouges in the body work to fix now.

Talk to me about hinges, aftermarket? Or is there someone good that can rebuild them?

Used to be a guy on Team Chevelle (Willie ? ) that rebuilt hinges .

That's him.I spoke to him last night, very nice guy. Going to pull the hood back off tomorrow and send him my hinges.

Found some back roads and flogged the Chevelle with the new fuel injection. Love it so far, throttle response is a world of difference. I thought I had my double pumper tuned good but this efi is awesome.

Done installing the new clutch and replacing the bushings on the shifter. Also, I decided to order ironman tires because of the price.

I pulled the front clip off of the 68 today. Spent a day last week getting the 307 & PG ready to come out. Hopefully next day I have off, I can get the engine and transmission out. I want to completely remove everything on the firewall and front frame rails. Going to clean, paint, set up my engine mounts for the LS swap.

Are you going to smooth the firewall? Or just take things apart to clean and paint?

[carpoor]

Originally, I was wanting to refurbish what was there. But, now I am thinking a Vintage Air system would be more tidy/trouble free. So most likely I will end up welding up the factory holes in the firewall.







I canabalized a 71-72 core support to fix the one off of my 68. It was a spare, and had some rough edges.

I see what you'll be doing for the whole summer.
