[ QUOTE ]
After waterblasting my 69 Camaro front subframe, I noticed how bad the welds were with lots of spatter. I think the welder must have been new or mad that day. Does anyone else have welds that look this bad? Is this typical? Check it out. Paul 69 Camaro SS L78, M21, 4.10's [/ QUOTE ] I worked at the old Jeep plant till it was shut down in '01. Those folks in the frame weld booth was making more smoke than just weld smoke.  The welds were not any better in '01 than what they were in 1969. Now it's all done by robots.

Re: Bad Factory Welds
The NOS L-78 Cam I purchased about a year ago from a member of this site. The cam is currently unavailable from GM but is still stocked by Crane and Comp Cams. Forged 11:1 Pistons and dimple rods came with the motor, the crank is a factory forged steel 6223 Nitrided GM crankshaft that was purchased through Ebay.
Coming next will be the like new 842 L-89 Aluminum Heads, oil pump, pan, and manifold, etc. Stay Tuned. Paul
