Ive got the fresh 4 bolt 454 squirreled away for future endeavors.

from the that post I assumed you had the 454 compete and ready to go...I'm disappointed....:(


Just the block done. Cam bearings, surfaced to remove any irregularities, bored, crack checked. $400 and some change. That was a few months ago. It will probably sit until summer. I'll either sell it as a short block to get rid of it or put it in a 1st gen monte or similar.

I finally brought her home! Got her out of storage, trailered her home and into the garage. Hopefully getting some tires in the next few days to get her, at minimum, rolling. Tires on there now are completely dried out and useless.

Wired up my radio harness and made up some rudimentary diagrams to help me remember the changes in standard color coding for radio harnesses from 1988 compared to 2019. I wasn't even a thought in anyones mind back in the 80's but once radios were getting standard features that required a constant line to be hot from the battery, I would think the standard would have been set then on how to color code them. From the sounds of things though, GM wasn't on the forefront of common sense handling back then anyways.

Spent half the day installing a "new" radio just to find out that the right side speaker outputs on the tuner are fubar'd

I installed the Fbody stay down license plate and it fit without issues and works well with very little spring tension compared to the Gbody version.

Here is the factory Gbody one I removed.
