Been awhile since Ive messed with the car but some small updates.
Picked up a set of GN wheels on CL.
Ordered up a pillar from Gbodyparts.com, Just cant seem to find a color to match my interior. I hear Its Brior Brown.
Changed up the valve covers a little bit.
I agree, but free and offy dont come often. The motor was designed for Vortec heads, so my Vortec carb intake matches much better.
Ac will be gone but I do want defrost.
Motor in:
Fuel Pressure Gauge:
Pile of parts:
Throttle springs mounted up the right way now:
Heard from an engine builder 400's do better with one breather so:
As it sits today:
Have a new fan clutch for it, only a mock up. Need to find a fan pulley, Alternator, Battery/cables...
Let me start by saying this is a budget build, and my first build on my own at that. The last car I built was done with my dad so I had him helping me on a lot. I can do your normal motor swap without an issue. I have been into cars since I was young.
Motor when it came home:
Started the...
As far as I remember Stock 305's and 350's came with 153 while 400's came with 168. Are you using headers? A mini starter would probably be a better choice.

My buddies K10 is true duals with cheapy mufflers no cats and it is loud. Sounds good but loud. At idle its not to bad but you do have to rev it every now and then due to the large cam. We try to be respectful like turning it off in a drive through or running in the next gear at night to cut...
I installed my fuel pressure gauge and wired up the light from the oil pressure gauge the PO apparently couldnt do.
Havent picked a color yet though.
Also looking into going LED for the gauges and such.
From my history with car audio (about 4 years deep into it - way too much money spent) it looks like the previous system was an attempt at infinite baffle set up. ( http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/sys ... affle.html ) great for sound quality. if you are looking for a well balanced system you...
Its something different. My friend has a purple and black 400. It's just fun watching people when they see it. I love Chevy orange but everyone has it.
Excited to be part of this board finally. I have read as a guest for about five years dreaming of the day I owned a g body.
A little about myself. I'm 20 years old, been into cars since I was five with my dad. My heart has always been in GM cars. I work as a diesel mechanic and a pizza boy.
