Dave; You aint the only one, I looked at Pro60chevy"s engine
and got sick to my stomach, Just thinking how fast that thing must be. Thanks Pro now I'm gonna be embarrassed to post
a picture of my engine, when it's done! Next to his engine my
351 cleveland, will look like it's being pushed around the block
in a baby carriage, and it will still be wearing it's booties.
Dang it Pro!!!

Hehehe I still have to figure out how to get to work together with my chassis, otherwise it will just be another useless hunk of aluminum.

Kewl looking ride, Travis. Anxious to see the pics when it is done. I'm not a chebbie guy at all, but ya gotta like a Nomad that is done up that nice!!!!

Holy Cow!! Fantastic rides guys! I am very humbled everytime that I come to this website. You all here have such talent and knowledge it's awesome! My hats off to you all!

Have you drivin a old Ford lately?

And this too. Under that 750 BG Holley is a new Edelbrock Torker.
My cam only goes from 3200 to 6500 rpms so it right line with the Torkers 3000 to 7000rpm's. And my new SRP 11.72 pistons and Eagle H beam rods should handle that with no problems, still waiting on my new fluid damper to get every thing balanced though.

Those parts are so cute! Just kidding, I never pick on anyone's stuff. There is usually two words that are said when anyone sees the motor, and the first word is "Holy". We are getting so close to the end of the build-up, that we are throwing a car cover over it when it's not being worked on. Secret Squirrel stuff is better left un-seen.

Ya Pro60chevy; I know what you mean abuot the squirrel stuff.
When I was growing up in Las Vegas, We used to go out and race on the old LA highway. Well there was nothing out there back then, And I was runnin a 440 Magnum Charger.
People used to want to look under the hood, So I keeped every thing on the out side of the engine, looking stock as possible.
Now of course every thing on the inside was polished and balanced, That car fooled alot of guy's, But I did, alot of walking back in those days. Some thing was allways breaking, But I guess that's what happens when you put all that torque, to the ground all at once. And your working on a Elephant budget, {Penuts}.
HE! HE!

I'll be getting on my 283 65 Nova 2dr. sedan reconstruction soon. Been sitting almost 2 years. Need all front end sheet metal, bumper , grill, radiator , full interior and all that. It will be going together pretty much stock.

I've taken the garage back from the kids!!! After several years off, reentering college to get my teaching degree, helping the kids build Zs and porsches, (and a few divorces) I've started to work on my '33 Tudor again. I couldn't be more excited or having more fun! I bought the '33 in 1990 as a stocker sans running gear and interior. Perfect body in black with bad floorboards. I pulled the fenders to start working on the chassis and was floored by how great it looked as a hiboy! (just as well...exwife sold the fenders during the divorce) I boxed the frame and got it down in the dirt with a 4" dropped front axle and 4 bar setup. A buddy gave me a Mustang steering box so guess what kind of steering it's got. I'm running an early 327 and TH350 with a Gennie shifter. I scavenged a 8" with 3:55 gears and used the leaf springs from a Mustang II to mount it with custom mounts I built. When it came to recessing the firewall I resorted to an old trick with a twist. I wanted to used a wheelbarrow body but wanted to simply allow for the dist cap, so I used a kid's wheelbarrow. It not only worked out great, it leaves most of the legroom and looks factory after it was painted. I'm not running a hood so I found some old ribbed valve covers and an early Offy intake.

Gonna be a GREAT summer!
