Very nice approach.
Down the list not the way I would have gone about any of it but its nice to see something that isn’t "my style". I do admire the level of work you are putting into it! I cant wait to see how it progresses

Thanks for dropping by. I did go to see your Elcamino - 78+79 are the best years - love these slanted front grill. Lots of work to get that rust out, saving a nice car!

oh, thank you...
I am more for the brutal raw power nature of it...

As for the renditions, thanks for the offer -- right now, the car will keep looking pretty much stock, asides from wheel change...

Yeah. Can't wait to get in my gas saving little Malibu. Nothing wrong with a stock car. What makes a car cool is if you like it. It's just a plus when others do too.
 
Working on the NEXT engine, the 1977 oddfire Buick. That will be a turbo/TBI/V6 Buick.

It seems like it's porting season right now. Matching the turbo headers with the heads. Spray paint using the header gasket and then.... GRINDING.

Got my TBI in the mail today. This is a GMC 454 CID TBI unit. Will adapt this on the intake. Will flow enough to run under a turbo with 13 PSI of pressure in this 231 engine.

It looks like you might have clearance issues. That setup plus the carb hat is going to be tall. I love the idea and will be following your progress. Best of luck
