Well it's been a tough 2020, we've had a few health issues that kept me out of the shop. Hopefully we've gotten a handle on it now. Ok the pala is finally on all fours, engine is ready to go in except for the oil pan, had to order one that fits 60's B bodies. Painter is waiting and interior man is lined up. Hopefully things will start moving along now. Check out my next project, I'm a gluten for punishment. Pt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23

Progress and setbacks. Got the 454 in the Pala yesterday, first, valve covers to tall for booster, common BBC problem but I've have some good stock ones. Trans is a 700R4 that came with the car, hope it's good. Bought some Calyx manifold dressing for the exhaust manifold's, everyone says it's good we'll see. Now the bad problem, front coil springs. Put them in a few months ago with the rest of the suspension, first thing I noticed was that the suspension was max out up, solid!! I said well when I drop that 800 lbs of BBC and transmission it'll drop. WRONG!! Even with my big 250 lb butt bouncing on the core support it wouldn't budge. called summit and explained in depth the issue with the ( Moog springs ). They double check me of course and said well that is the right listing so I'm stuck. Called Moog's tech line, yes right part number but he would recommend one with less load, but still doesn't know why it's maxed out. Called Summit back told them what Moog had said and recommended, their going to warranty them and send me the ones they recommended.Pt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23

Today I ordered a Sean Murphy Induction custom built Quadrajet for the Pala. Now I some of you might have just went, whaaaat. Well the Pala is being built to be fun and for those old enough will remember the days when we flipped the air cleaner just to hear that beautiful Quad sound when you punched it, well that's what I want. He builds carbs for car's in super stock classes that require factory style carbs. Holley's also.Pt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23

Wow I can post again!! Got the new rear suspension installed. Now on to finishing the rear brakes and install new brake lines. Not very pretty under there but I'll spray some pretty under there.Last edited by corvettedad; December 30, 2020, 09:09 AM.Pt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23

Been piddling along but making progress. I tried putting the stock shift linkage back on the 200R4 but there isn't anyway it'll fit, I don't know how the goobers had it on there, maybe that's why it didn't shift right. I ordered a Lokar universal column shift linkage kit and made my own and it actually works!! Got new tires, will have to repaint the Rallye wheels on it and the front end should settle down a little lower with the rest of the engine accessories, hood, and grill/bumper.Last edited by corvettedad; February 23, 2021, 10:54 PM.Pt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23
