This was the big score of the weekend after selling. Super mint 409 dual quad intake. Very early 62 unit as it has a Dec 61 casting date. Almost...
When the original civilian owner (the 56 was originally a Sherriffs car all of 1956 and partially 1957) Ron bought the car mid 57 and started...
I would be guessing a Dodge Lancer of some year, I know they used the knight helmet over the years.
When a PNW person hears "Old Gold" we probably think of a old 39 Chevy sedan that would pull wheelies at the drag strip. The car would put on a...
Then the current 348 in our 61, soon to be a 409... [ATTACH] Then the car that started the obsession with W's, the 61 Impala my grandfather...
our old 34 coupe with a 6x2 348. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
lasting memories there for sure. I fondly remember when my grandpa would surprise me with picking me up in the 33 pickup I have now. Was the best...
Got 348s and will have a 409 soon, going in 3 weeks to pickup a 340hp motor, but have now stock piled all the good stuff for a 425hp motor to...
the base block casting was the same for those 3 engines. They all share a 4” bore. The rotating assembly is what then determined the cubes. 302...
Yeah the nice weather killed the buildings at the expo. The big problem up there at this point is the loss of almost all the parts businesses that...
That arial of the Expo is quite the old one. E and D hall are not built like they are now and the middle building is long gone. D hall is whats...
Only thing allowed at EXPO is like the mobility scooters, or a medical push scooter (for like a lower leg cast) Other wise you are hoofing it...
I never did run the engine with the L30 cam though. I swapped to a L79 when I first built the car, then went to a Z/28 30/30 cam when I pulled the...
due to pure flat top pistons. My Camaro's motor is still rocking the original GM pistons in it and yeah they are flat with the small relief cuts....
If its a stock 4 speed shifter setup, not really any way to rebuild or tighten up. They are pretty crude. Might have to go to a hurst base and...
Kind of what I was thinking as well, would be about the most direct over to there route, otherwise your kind of having to swing more North or...
Ill be up at the EXPO center in hall E on a corner of the isle that goes between all the halls, just a little bit South of the mid point of the...
might want to make sure you have the right dipstick for it as well. I know 65 dip sticks are also one off to go with the car pan. If you have a GM...

I think we all know @DDDenny loves L79s. I do as well, those motors are awesome little screamers. Well the L79 had a little brother, the L30!...
Yeah 69 was the first year of drilled accessory holes on the ends. 69 327 pretty rare as they were phased out by January-Feb 69 (remember model...
68 blocks are large journal (first year of large journal), moved to needing the PCV system in the valve cover and a breather (used air cleaner)...
I have the correct filler tube for that manifold. I also have a 68 L79 intake, when it went to a cast iron quadrajet setup and was rated at 325hp...
One of the best motors ever. Love the 327, almost everything in the garage has one in it. Both the 55 and 56 have early blocks where my 68s have...
I'm looking to put a redline set of these on my 68 Camaro as the current set of redlines is about 15 years old at this point.
Proud great grandpa, lol.
Also during the roadster show, my niece that was born right before Christmas came to her first car show. My mom surprised CJ by dressing her up in...
it’s gonna be interesting for PIR this summer. Since Beaches is now gone. The new promoter who has taken over is supposedly messing with things...
because it’s been the same name since 1956 and even then it was not just roadsters. Always been a mix of stuff.
Separate names with a comma.
