I'm gonna try to do the best I can and caption every photo and everything we did for this build...
Started out with this....
When I got it, it was said to me that this was a 468bbc, with a Turbo 400 manual valve body car.
Exterior shape was real nice and the interior was really nice too. I think it was repainted the correct Lemans Blue, same code that's on the body tag.
About 71k on the body when I got it.
Here is the engine:
Car had a beast of a cam and 1000 rpms felt like it was gonna shake the quarter panels off. I knew it had power.
I quickly changed the cheetah shifter for the stock one, and it being a full manual valve body was a pain. We tried to put in a new hybrid valve body but the trans was modified too much to reverse it back. It also had a 3500 stall. It rode okay on the street.
Fast forward a year later I blew both head gaskets and took it in to a nearby shop to get it looked at.
This is where the fun began and the build snowballed from there.....
