Hey guys I dont see alot of 70's around here ,let alone the project section so for those who might want to pretty up that classic and go pro-touring with it,here is mine :lol:
Little background-My first classic,sold my 86 clean G body regal in order to buy an 01 deville and then selling the cadi to buy this machine.Found it on craigslist after looking around for a chevelle.Could not find a 70 chevelle for cheap so I looked at a cutlass,no idea there was a chevelle equivalent at the time.I liked the back end quarters more than I did the chevelle's so I got it for $1300 bucks :lol:
Specs:
1970 Cutlass Supreme Holiday Coupe
Engine:350 4BB original Engine
Chassis: Coupe with 65k Original miles
Body: Original paint and body panels,never been repaired or painted in good condition with some dents and a little rust on the fenders and behind the rear bottom glass. :?
Plan:
Slowly Build it upgrading all the suspension,chassis,reconditioning and modifying the car with aftermarket parts. No paint or major engine work untill I have the space and money for an ls engine swap.
Pictures:This is what I started with
After many problems with the egr
I decided to strip the engine,paint it and upgrade it with edelbrock goodies and pretty it up.started the tear down
Took the intake and everything that went with it,ports look good
Valley looks good,no major build up except for some hardened oil flakes
will reuse some of my stuff,no sense in buying new,before
after
started painting the top of my heads,black
then took the covers off and wire wheeled them,nice and clean
If you are installing an edelbrock carb and dont have the coin to get an expensive bracket,do yourself a favor,cut your original and weld on a strip of home depot bracket
after a little chrome paint(home depot again)and holes drilled looks like an aftermarket bracket
Installed a 2711 intake with spacer
Dropped the carb in #1406 electric choke no egr and this is where I am now
