once im done suring up the body and suspension.... i am going to install my new richmond gears in the rear ( 3.42's) and while im in there i may just swap over to the Summit Racing rear disc conversion kit ( still debating) also the trans will come out and be built for the business end ( its a nice solid 350 th mated to a 4.1 I6 ) and finally the business end will be something ill toss together, 350 or 327.. but I do have a 305 LU5 motor from my camaro project on a stand that needs a freshen up... ( people down 305's but I dont.... its not like its a 262 or 267 v8..)
and if anyone needs to know what i can do to a 305 Ill post a youtube link shortly.. you can see the one i built and put into my 83 z28 ( which is now for sale to fund the nova)

Moving this over there now so no need for a new one.
BTW John mine is a 77, just how many beers did you have that day :devil: and thanks for the kind words
not gonna lie thats where i stole the idea from
and thanks for moving the thread... I didnt want to sound obnoxious and ask for it to be moved...
But yes more pics soon... tore down the motor tonight.. tommorow dropping the pan and rotating assembly. Looks like its a 77 truck block... came out of a 3/4 ton 4x4 originally. I have a decent shot at 4 bolt mains....
also after pulling the intake and heads... no gunk or build up internally so far... shame the heads are 882's, gotta a line on a set of ported and rebuilt as new 441 castings with 2.02/ 1.60's in em already... either way I'm doing scat rotating assembly ( balanced) with new flat tops.
Ill post more tommorow.
