Which Big Block heater core cover is that? Is there one that fits all cars or a "special" one that fits the 4th gen?

 

[77-427-5sp]

it is listed as a third gen nova big block classic industries al303

 

[disco79]

Thanks, even though I have a small block I never did like the location of the heater hoses behind the valve covers. The big block way looks cleaner, I thinks.

it rained last Sunday so i found some time to work on the car
it only took about 8 years but i got the repaired radiator support in , along with all the grill parts and the front bumper , next up fixing hacked up front brake lines , but that will not be until another rainy Sunday or until snow flies

that grill has only been waiting 20 years to be put on the car

thank you for the kind words , this is more of a winter project but i am trying ti find some time to work on it , finding a lot of little things i did 25 years ago that need to be fixed or were never right , next up is working on the brakes new booster is in corvette master is in next up as well new proportioning valve for to handle the rear disk brakes and new lines

 

[77-427-5sp]

if gm put a 427 in 77 this how it would looked to me

if chevy had ever been nice enough to put a 427 in a 77 i think this how it would have looked ,i allready have people think it was born there ,you can not see in this pic but it has OEM 396 cast exhaust manifolds

also finished up the brake lines and now the rear disc seem to work right and the peddle feels great so far maybe now it will stop

thanks ,well in 1985 i did but big block springs in it but ended only doing a small block
as it has been on jack stands for the last 10 years i am about sure how it going to look , the front was pretty high and i have real tall tires on the back

so the whle care was kinda high
