Thanks for the suggestion guys. I'll try what you suggested and report back. Not sure what I'll use for a lens but I'm sure I'll find aomething.
Bought this from ebay. It's complete except for the lens. With that being said the needle is slightly bent and blows around with the slightest...
My 64 impala ss has the factory sbc tachometer. Light works but tach is dead. I also have a few other vintage tachs I may either want restored...
The 305 i got from a guys alley he was gonna scrap. Originally a 82 crossfire. These engines have the HO cam and good heads with flat top...
Nothing special. Just mundane stuff in my impalas. Numbers matching block in the convertible with long tube headers and stainless...

What part number bilstein did you use? I've looked at the ones for the g body, they look close in length.
How did you install the kyb shocks on the front? DO you just double up the bushings? They seemed too short when I tried to put them on and they...
The car bounces. It's not like a basketball, but more like a launch. It's been so bad a few times it's been at full length travel. I can't...
The car sits even so I don't think the springs are bad. It very well could be more of a matter of the shocks themselves. I got the monroes on...
LOL wheels aren't staying but I had to get the other off because of two bent wheels and 20 year old tires. I plan on putting original wheels and...
Im a big fan of 55-64 gm cars, especially full size. I know the 64 doesnt look like a hamb project, but ive never seen a car so half ass slapped...
I like the way the car sits and rides, but its a little scary on the highway to say the least. Almost lost control of the car through a...
Like said before, an RV cam or stock 929 cam. A cheap and effective way for better mileage is to raise timing. 34-36 total and 12-15 on the...
I've also considered purchasing some headers for this build. THere's a set of NOS Thrush coated headers that have never been installed the guy...
ALmost forgot to mention, they are 1.94's. I'll most likely keep them that way unless they have to be cut.
Sorry guys it's been a busy week. It is a standard bore, looks to have the better rods and none of the bearings were chewed. It had been apart...
Did i mention the 461x heads?[ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Some tear down pics...[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yeah ive heard they hold up well. Problem is i need the one with the alternator mounting boss on the front. Its not so much about having the...
I have a 4 bolt 350 that needs a couple pistons and is otherwise in good shape. I'm considering using it if my patience wears out. The 305HO in...
I checked out speedway. DIdn't see the manifold I need. It's a one year only that shares with corvette so I'm sure once I find it I'm gonna have...
A few rods as in 2 of them were smoked. Ill keep them around for spares. Im trying to get a block a guy started on with a finished crank for...
Kyb is a good budget shock or for rough roads otherwise i like bilsteins. Check out hellwig to see if they make a rear sway bar or anti roll bar....
Oreillys website has a list of compatible vehicles on most of their parts that seems accurate. It would be a quick way to get started.
Yesterday I got a call I was hoping I wasn't going to get. Yup, the block is cracked :( After dropping 400 into this project I'm left with...
On the subject of nailheads, my friend has a 65 skylark GS. Nice cruiser. Still has the switch pitch trans but its obvious it doesn't work as it...
Learned it's sometimes better to pay someone else to do the work. I learned real fast I don't have the patience or skill for sheetmetal work...
I have no intentions of running headers. I have long tubes on my 67 and i hate them. I may go as far as finding manifolds some day to just get...
