    Re: Got a New Project Today

    Its not the original engine or trans, but I got a 360 and I am thinking about making it a 6 pack car. It wouldn't be that hard since I got this job at Promax now, that is what we specialize in.

    The Corvette was cool but it was still a CHEVY!...lol I never really cared for vettes since the first one I drove at a GM dealer, plus it was in real bad shape.

      Let me know if it's something you can use. Just pay for shipping.
      Not sure on how much would be the same but I would like it. Let me know how much to ship it to Indianapolis IN. 46241 and I will send a money order if thats cool.

      Thanks

        Tiresmoke and another friend came by today and we decided to fire the engine up to see if it ran. Hooked up a gas line into a bucket of 100 octane rocket brand fuel and a battery. Got the battery hooked up and primed the carb and she fired right up. sounded pretty good for a 318

            I can see this engine in your car. A week later I would see you in an orange vest picking up garbage on the side of the highway.

                      That one would be nice, but it is only a mock-up motor. It is made of Styrofoam.

                            Sounds like fun.Motor worth like 12 times the car. Like a ls7 vette motor for the Elky.

                                Still say you should've kept that 340 instead of selling it...but hey, that planned 360 build should prove interesting.

                                FWIW, I hooked SJ up with this deal from a guy I work with.

                                He drove this thing, right up until a drunk crossed the center line and contributed the new body lines....LMAO


                                At least you're more than recouping the initial expenditure.......nothing like making money on a parts car.
