A lot has happened with this car in the year since I have had my "new" Biscayne. The 454 that was in it flattened a cam lobe and was replaced by a real L72 427/425 that I lucked into. It is a CE block engine made in 1970 that was pulled from a 1966 Corvette. It has been rebuilt once, .030 over with hard valve seats, otherwise stock. I have installed a new header back Pypes exhaust system, painted the wheels body color, put narrower tires in front, removed the fuel cell and installed a stock gas tank, replaced the rear springs to restore the correct ride height, rebuilt the M20 because it was leaking fluid out the input shaft (was missing the oil slinger). I have replaced the fender corner lights with blank trim pieces more likely for a Biscayne. Most recent project was to convert the long water pump to the short pump configuration and change to deep groove pulleys and the correct power steering pump. I will always identify it as a tribute car with a Day 2 theme. It's not really a clone because there are things that will never be totally correct, my goal is for people to recognize what it represents and have fun driving it! Here are a few pictures of how it looks now.
