Uh oh! Bring on the 5.0s!! So, give us the scoop on the new goodies... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Another winter project.
 

The top of my motor was not original. 70's angle plug heads, Edelbrock Torker intake manifold, wrong water pump and a set of 20 year old rusty headers. In addition to that I had some blue smoke under load. Did a compression check and found 2 adjacent cylinders with low compression. Should be a head gasket problem or valve. I hope. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

As for the new stuff. The heads are original 186 castings. I have been sitting on an original 472 intake for years. Same with the water pump. Just need to pick up a set of SuperComp headers.

Nice to finally have that 2 car garage huh D? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Another winter project.
 

Long overdue. Previous owners even installed a furnace in there. I was sold when we walked into the garage. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Good deal Darren! Looks like you got it under control. Don't throw those old heads and intake away. Sam https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Ah Verne, your project is 100 times cooler than mine though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Another winter project.
 

Your car is WAAAY cool! In the late '70s I worked with a guy who had an original Z. It was that dark "forrest" green (Fathom?, don't know the name), with white vinyl top and white interior. It was a great car.
He let me drive it, and of course........................ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
