Re: 72 K5 Frame off.....
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics... It is still at the paint shop, I will have it home in the next couple of days and will take more/better pictures.
I have to say the motor and trans are my favorite parts too. It should put out 500-550hp and with the 700r4 will all the goodies it should move down the road well

Re: 72 K5 Frame off.....
Actually they are Summit racing brand. Part number sum-730502 and sum-730503. They came as polished aluminum and I painted them to look that way.

Re: 72 K5 Frame off.....
Sweet blazer! Have you used that Holley throttle body on other motors? I had one on my 90 corvette and had problems with it sticking part way open. It was brand new.
