Re: L29 454 Build for '63 K15 with NV4500

The next day, I surveyed the engine compartment. Its trashed. I knew it was always kinda dirty but don't think that a quick degrease is gonna cut it here.
With an empty engine bay, it became real clear that the brakelines were hammered, wiring need attention and the big surprise - the core support is rusted and collapsing on both sides where it sits on its mounts.

Question - Im going to try to find a good used core support because I have a feeling it will fit better than an aftermarket one. Anyone here use an aftermarket one with good results?
