Well,.....it's an "80.
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.

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.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.

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.
