Kurt,
Welcome to another 69 Chevelle SS Post Sedan owner. I'll look for you at the track this summer.

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
Thanks Rick. I think it will be a while before I can get it to the strip but for now I am just glad to get back into a "real" muscle car with a great history.
My goal is to someday contact some of the original owners and get pictures of the car from back in the 70's or 80's. That would make everything complete.

Well the work has started. Mike and I are replacing the heater core and water pump. After that we will be working on the dog legs of the front fenders.

Here are some pictures of the block and the heads with the valve covers off.

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
Just a little FYI, you could probably remove that stud girdle with those being tough cast iron heads. Aluminum heads (especially GM snowflake) are where those things are really needed. They can be a pain in you-know-what! Loosen the girdle, lash the valve to the correct setting, tighten the girdle up, and then re-check the lash and see that it changed. Very frustating!

Great car, by the way! I'm a big fan of "post" cars having a couple of '65's at the house right now along with my Biscayne.

Re: SOLD my 1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Sedan
I have a set of 842's in the basement. Now that I know that the motor has closed chamber heads, I might swap them.
