Hey all,
Iīm a 25 yr old guy from Germany and Iīm restoring a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. You can watch it on www.chevelles.de (http://www.chevelles.de) if you like.

My Chevelle is going to be a sleeper. I now have a 318hp/470ftlbs engine (383cid). I use the stock exhaust manifolds, a rochester carb and cast heads, to have a original look.
The transmisson I will use is a TH2004r transmission, and I swaped the stock differential to a 3.73 Eaton Positraction.

I guess that combo will make a lot of fun smile.gif

But my main problem now is, that when I bought that car, there was a pontiac engine in there, and I now donīt have any pictures what the enginebay has to look like with a 350 engine in it. I still donīt have all the bracket I need for the AC, the PS Pump an the alternater.
Maybe someone of you can take a view pictures or knows a website where pictures are of a original engine bay with the original brackets ect.

Thank you very much smile.gif

I am also restoring a 72 that had a 400 in it. I have replaced it with a 350. All the brackets, motor mounts were the same. A small block is a small block.This site has lots of pictures that you can look at. Sorry I cant help any better then that.
