What's with the cap screwed over the rear cam freeze plug?

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Just a decorative freeze plug cover.....from previous engine builder.

Safety wire now that is something you dont see everyday.. Engine looks very clean; must not have very many miles on it. Smart move on the 1 piece gasket. I dont use anything but.. What did you use for paint?

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

I installed the rear end today......and selected the Ladder Bars of choice :-)

Thanks Mark.....leaving the water pump unpainted, it will have a nice contrast with the aluminum heads [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]
Plus the M/T Super Scavenger Headers will also be in there original orange color.

What do the ladder bars connect to up front?

Ryan

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Not the best pictures but they bolt to the a bracket that is bolted to the frame.

I think there is a speck of dust on one of the bolts...get that taken care of! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Amazing detail... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Looking great Dan! Your attention to detail is fantastic. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
 

Today's results......the highlight of this 1969 SS396 Chevelle is that it retains the original &quot;Born With&quot; drivetrain.
The original engine and transmission will remain on this display stand next to the Chevelle.
