Been working on the
motor the last few nights. I wish I had a larger garage. It’s a little
crowded these days.
Found some tires over the
weekend from a local tire shop. They are going to be here this
week I hope. Finally got my money back from the other tires that
I original ordered. I installed the rear seal over the weekend,
but the timing chain was sloppy so I ordered a new one before
re-assembly. My rims are due back Thursday. It’s only been three
weeks to be blasted. A little slow. Have a great day.

Motor is ready to be flipped over
to complete the top. New timing chain and gears installed. Should
have the top end finished by tomorrow, and on to the rims. Tires
arrived today, Finally.

Work on project has slowed down
some. Been getting the engine ready, but have been unable to find
exhaust manifolds for it that are original. I did find a
distributor, but need to change the cap to black. The transmission
hasn’t come back from the shop yet either. I worked on the old valve
covers last night hoping be able to trade them at the swap meet this
weekend for something I could use, they look a little different from
the old pictures. I also have a set of headers I’m going to try to
trade off. Our Chevelle club show is this Sunday. I was hoping to
have the engine and transmission in by this weekend so I could enter
the frame in the show under the in progress category, but the new
rules state you have to be able to drive it in. I don’t think that
will happen.
Transmission is
finished and the motor and trans will be going back in the car this
weekend or early next week.
