Great work as usual Ken,I am digging the gauges alot. I have always wanted a plain jane 66/67 Chevy II with skinnie and big chevy ralleys and disc brake center caps,some reason that vision does something for me.....not that Torque Thrusts dont.LOL Either way I would love to have one of those in my collection.Greta job.

Update............Seems that as Kevin was driving the car it seemed to be smoking more and more.......I thought it was the valve seals .........so.......when we started to check it out and after pulling the PCV hose and valve and starting the engine.........It was obvious that by the blow-by coming out the valve cover there were so other issues at play here.......This motor was built a few years ago but it didn't have that many miles on it........Just some drag strip miles.........Anyhow.....we were planning on doing a LS swap in the near future ....anyhow........here's what we found after pulling the engine out.....None of the wrist pin retainer rings were put in by the engine shop that went thru the engine and the wrist pin decided to take a "Walk"........Darn.........Gonna get it sleeved and put back together till the LS shows up......

Yep..........We sleeved the cylinder and ended up basically spending twice as much as I wanted to because we are going to put a LS engine in the car anyway........the rebuild got a little out of control......But.....It's all good now and the car runs really strong........
