Finally I had a minute to work on my engine. Crank is in!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I finally got the crank in my 327. Have to wait to do the pistons though, I had to order the rod bearings. They will be here on Monday. I can't wait to make it into an engine again, instead of a pile of parts in my garage and basement. At least it's progress!

What kind of camera ( & its power ) do you have ?

jmanz69 · 04-14-2003, 06:55 AM

I use an old Olympus 1.3 megapixel camera. I want a new one, just can't afford it. It has been a good camera for posting pics on the web, but not for printing out. It's not high res enough for that.

I have to ask about that light house model alongside your engine stand????

jmanz69 · 04-14-2003, 06:32 PM

It's actually a yard light. My fiancee's parents got it for me for x-mas. I am into lighthouses and nautical stuff being from Michigan. I have to figure out where to put it now. I think it's pretty cool, but wieghs a ton!!

Engine looks great, gotta love Chevy orange. As for the yard light - would make one heck of a hood ornament :-)
