D-A-M-N!!!!!!!!!! Very nice job. What a feeling that must give you to be in the driver's seat of this very bad 'velle. Glad to see you retain the Lakewoods. <font color="blue"> Nice knuckle-dragger! </font> Describe the drivetrain as you have it now. Love the Grotto blue too!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() [/ QUOTE ] Sam, When I bought this car it appeared to have been maintained with spare parts and no money. I tried to salvage as much of the driveline as possible. However that was tough to do. The B.B. is now a .030 over 402 block with 11.5:1 compression, a big solid lifter cam, and original G.M. 840 Big Port heads. The trans is an M20, not original to the car but I rebuilt and reinstalled it. The rear is still the original housing, G.M. carrier, and Ring & Pinion. I installed new bearings and seals and away we went. I thought I might have som regret not using a larger displacement motor to start with, but this combo together makes plenty of power for a sreet driven car. ![]()
