I haven't been online much this summer because I have been out in the garage. I finally got all the stuff done that I had to complete and can now start working on my fun stuff.
So here in my 57' Pontiac - original canadian car built on a 57' Chevy chassis, right down to the 283/PG setup. It came with a 67' 327 with a rod hanging out the side of the block. Previous owner pulled the car out of 20+ years of storage and started doing 7000+ rpm burnouts with it until a rod bolt let go.
I spent the last several days fixing up the brakes, and pulling the blown 327 and TH400 out of the 57'. I also picked up a real nice 85' caprice a few weeks ago with a low milage Gm 305 crate motor in it and built TH700R4.
After pulling the caprice engine, I cleaned it up a little with an early Q-jet front fill intake, some corvette valve covers, and a little paint.
So with no engine in the 57' and a decent looking little 305 sitting there, I just put them together. I just need to hook up a few things and a trip to the parts store and the car is on the road. This is my road tri car, so I am hoping for 20+mpg with the Q-jet fed, overdriven, 305, and the 3.36 rear gear.
