Ok we have the motor & Trans back in. Getting ready for the new exhaust system next. Then on to wiring.... More to come soon!
A couple of shots of the motor & Trans from below. Look'n good!
The 302 back on the Engine stand, now bored .060 over, with new Pistons, Rings, Cam, Lifters, Roller Rockers, Push Rods, timing chain, oil pump, pump drive shaft and an updated set of World Windsor Heads with 58CC chambers. Notice the new pan, water pump and timing chain cover. A new set of tall valve covers are on the way. Also the C4 has had a total overhaul too, with all new bands, seals, and a shift kit. Plus the Torque Converter was torn down then rebuilt, with all new internals and has a bumped up 2200 rpm stall speed. Get'n ready to rock!! As of: 6 Feb 2009
Well we are getting close to completing our the Engine stand build, & pre-fit phase.
Well we are getting close to completing our the Engine stand build, & pre-fit phase. The driver's side valve cover is now setup a 1" spacer for better roller rocker clearance. Also note the new Oval billet air cleaner, looking very fine! Both the alternator & P/S pump brackets have all been upgraded to billet aluminum type brackets. We have also added billet dual V style crank and water pump pulleys. So is that all?   No... We could not stop there!!. Note the new intake manifold we are sporting. We decided that we had to swap out the old cast iron unit, for a much better, and lighter Aluminum Dual plane low rise style manifold.  It's an Edlebrock 2121 Performer, with that un-mistakable Endura shine finish.   As of: 28th Feb 2009
She is up and Out!!
