I do remember them looking like that, until my Regal build I have not built a SBC in decades since I was only running Big Blocks in my Monte.

If i recall correctly That motor in the regal's from tri-star,its an aftermarket casting,that might play a role in the difference.

The short block is from them but the block is a new GM block and I specified 2 piece rear main over the 1 piece because I like it neutral balanced on both ends.

Well, like an idiot I left the New 6x9s out while I was using the cutoff wheel. Now they're covered in shavings and debris and sound like they're blown. Oops 😬

New speakers on the way.

Hi new here but I saw this thread and it looked nice, last weekend my girlfriend got to watch me get all my heater cables working in my El Camino which I kinda had to get them freed up since I had one hell of a time trying to find replacements if I needed them to buy so I got all three free and I got my new heater controls installed that I bought used along with a new to me set of door panels a little while back. WD-40 really does wonders lol

Had a buddy drive it up to the new house while I towed the k10. First time the car has been ran since Father’s Day last year.. listening to the 383 fire up after 8 months was music to my ears…
