Big update!
Been saving up for months now. Decided it was time for a rebuild.
Things purchased / done
- Holley 600 electric choke carb.
- Weiand polished aluminum intake
- Chevrolet aluminum valve covers (Believe pro-form makes them for gm?)
- New water pump, fuel pump, oil pump
- New flywheel (Old one was a ticking time bomb, had 4 cracks!)
- Entire engine gasket kit
- New heater hoses
- New radiator hoses
- Painted the block
- Painted exhaust manifolds
- Comp thumpr cam kit with timing chain
- 2500 stall torque converter
- ALL working gauges! YES! ( new senders / gauges)
I didn't do the work myself, I paid a guy who built my transmission to build this to. I believe I mentioned everything. Every piece of my engine was torn apart and looked at. SO happy with the outcome. Was nervous about going with a thumpr but I LOVE it so far. Everything is brand new except for the pistons and crank, things like that. Otherwise it was replaced if worn or broken. I used Fel-pro gaskets & AC-Delco as much as possible besides the carb and intake. Still going to clean up the engine bay with wires and hoses going everywhere. Just glad to have her back. Heres some updates! All in all, I have $2500 in it.

Lastly a video, sorry if the quality is bad. I recorded it with my iPhone 6; so it should be fine!
