Well,.....it's an "80. :D
The 350 and M-22 are out. I need warmer weather before I can paint the engine compartment. The 454 is just strainin' at the bit to get goin', all fresh built and places to go!!! ;)

Sorry about the slip up on the year, I'm doing suspension rebuild on mine this winter, I have the rear end finished but waiting to get the jet-ski out of the garage so I'll have more room to work on the front end, I had to do a little work on the jet-ski so I can store it in the brother-in-laws barn the rest of the winter.

I replaced my complete suspension and was totally amazed at the dif! :)

Hey Dave ,whats the weather like down there.The cold is gone:) here ,now its rain[:'(].It gets frustraiting when ya gots ta work outside and ya want to get things done.I see you know the feeling,since that ol 454 is just a chompin at the bit to get in and start smokin.I got the 350 short block done,got to build the heads now:eek:.Still trying to get time to pull the body.Once that is done then she will get alot done in a hurry.I started stripping the 454,but I am giving myself 2 years to do it up the way I want,hopfully 600 hp:).Well got to go .Have a good one and we'll talk atya later.

We got into the mid '60s today, Sat., but noooo.....I had to work! [:@]
Sun. is the only day my wife and I have off together, so.. no workin' on cars. :D

A 600 hp 454 ain't all that hard to do! ;)
Go for it Bro, I'm thinkin' the same, in a couple of years. :)
For now, I'll settle for 400 hp. ;)
