Sorry Dude, you'll have'ta lighten the load just a liittle, not quite enough room for all that!

OK, the surround sound system stays home.

O. K. , but the Model "T" is commin' with us!!!!

Right after the Crate motor gets dropped in. Can you say ZZ3????

Every "Starship" needs a shuttle craft!

Yer on yer best game today, bro!!! Bwaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!!!

I was just informed that the O D on the 3sp is around 30%. The 3sp ODs came in Chev pass cars from '55 through '65 and maybe '68.

My 454 is home! Now the fun begins!

Where were you 30 years ago, when I had the Road Runner, and the 454 "Heavy Chevy"?
Huh???

I know I was busy paying for some of my many moving violations. and I have a sneaking suspition Scotty and some others were too.

just let me know where to send the funds. we can call it " Drivers against speed limits" or "we be speeder"

How about "Blast 'er Passed 'er Faster"
(cash, check, money order, credit card, or Pay Pal)

Youse guys are killin' me here today! Bwaaaaaahahahaha!! Priceless.


Um, no, George, I've never sped before. That'd be wrong, and I'd never do anything wrong.

From you?? SURE!! Yer a fine upstanding citizen!!!

I took this '56 Hard Top, that I paid $80 for, about 30 yrs ago. Rotted out floor boards, broken widows, and no interior or engine, added a 2 sp power glide, that I paid $150 for.........


loaded it on a trailer, and headed for Winnimucca , Nevada!




Dropped the '56 in his yard.....


Loaded up the 454.....


When I got back home, after doin' a 120 mile, at 80 mph +, cruise with a '57 Nomad......


I unloaded the 454....


Then tucked it away, safe and sound, in my storage container.


Well, that's how my last Sunday went, how was yours?

No where near as good as yours, bro! Bloody WOOOOOOT alright!!! Oh Sweet Lord, your Vette is gonna FLY!!!!!!!

Well, I'm way behind schedule, but the 350 is out, weather be damned!
Now the clean up of the engine compartment begins.

heres a helpful tip for your electric fan...once upon a time ford ****ed up and did somthing right...go to the junk yard and find an older torus (sp?) and nab the fan from that. they got 2 fans and are the desirable S shape that seem to do a good job. i paid 15 bucks for mine and they keep my small block at about 150 on average...just make sure to use    40 amp fuses <<<<<important! ! ! this def. beats paying 400 bucks for the aftermarket, which look exactly the same. and they beat the hell out of the ol' meat grinder.
 
 
have fun....oh and mount them IN FRONT of your radiator if you have room (i removed my A/C condencer)
