Just thought I would show some shots of my 69 L78/L89 engine, almost completed. Hopefully in the next 3-4 weeks she will be running.

Looks great Paul. Very refreshing to see the correct PCV valve used for a change.

Some undercarriage pics:

The undercarriage has been cleaned but not repainted. The axle housing and subframe were painted with polyurethane enamel with hardner and flattening agent.

Paul,
If you haven't already, make sure you coat any bare steel parts with Boe-Shield. It does help a lot to keep the parts from rusting. Looks very nice under there. Nice touch with the "Chevrolet" body bushings. These can be hard to find.

Rick, That's uncanny......BEFORE I saw your post, I was thinking the same thing............one of the better sources to buy on line.
