My friend Dave and I finally got it back together enough to fire up, thought I would share. Its nothing special, not compared to some of the incredible build ups some of the guys around here have. I cant move the car yet (brake lines not installed yet, so its in the garage with the pipes up against the wall)

468 CID - 10 to 1 - Stocks rods - crank - decent pistons oval port heads. bumpy cam with a victor junior manifold and an 800 Edelbrock Carb -
The cam is pretty bumpy - comp cam 11-220-4 grind 306S - should run pretty good with the 411s in the rear with an 8 inch 3200 converter with a t400.

Nowhere near finished yet, no heater core in the car, no fan shroud, (going to have trouble with a decent fan and shroud solution I think I only have about three inches between the waterpump pulley and they radiator - I would love some suggestions ) no steering column in yet but have a flaming river tilt column - no radiator overfill yet - no brake lines yet either, we are working on it on Saturdays, hope next week to get the column and brakes back together.

Tearing a car apart is easy, putting it back together can be very frustrating. I was working on the car at a friends house, he was doing the body work and some other things as well and tore the car apart. Something happened for him health wise and I ended up having to pick up my car and scoop up all my parts. In the process I did not get a lot of parts that I need to put the car back together. :sad:

For example, my headliner got pulled out and when I asked for the bows, I only got 4 bows back. So I am missing 2 bows for my headliner. Needless to say my chevelle is back home and I don't think I will ever put myself in that position again.

Anyhow, I can't wait to get it together enough to actually be able to get it out of the driveway and nail the throttle a bit. It's been too long :yes:

That sounds really good, especially from the rear! :thumbsup: What mufflers are on it? All the guys that ask how to get that attention grabbing cruise night sound should take note.

Thanks for the video.

You did break it in, right? Hope so, sounds great. Pretty similar to my build.

 

[Berto]

its got about 100 miles on it or so. That was 2 years ago. It has sat since. Ya we broke in the cam of course

Its 3 inch exhaust all the way out the back with a balance tube and some 3 inch flowmasters. Yea it sounds pretty good, the garage doesnt do it justice.

Figured so. A guy posted a new fire up video a while back and just had it idling on initial fire-up. I'm waiting for him to post back about his flattened cam. Again, it sounds great:thumbsup:

Is that a gear drive timing set?Just sounds like a whine sound.it does sound great!:beers:

 

[Berto]

nope, has a double roller chain on it. I built a small block with a gear drive a long time ago and didn't really care for it, don't think I would do that again.
