Well, you haven't posted anything in a year on this, so it's a bit hard to follow

Do you think I should just start a new thread?

If anyone is interested, here's some pics of the project so you don't have to go back through all the pages in the thread.

My garage is clean and the new motor in the wife's impala is in , so time to get back on track with this build. I have pretty much everything I need to finish putting the motor back together. I have some cam sprockets on the way thanks to a fellow GSR member, and trying to find some aftermarket cams. I have some cams from an 1100 GK...I was told once that they are a hotter cam, so I can use those for now if I have to.

Things left to do:

Install and degree cams.
Get the frame and misc. parts blasted and powdercoated.
Do some minor work on the wiring harness.
Get the wheels polished and painted.
Get the paintwork done on the body parts.
Re-assemble everything.
Do the wiring including the coil relay mod.

The blasting/powdercoating/painting has already been bartered for, so mostly I just need to do the labor to get it done.

She's been gathering dust in the garage and needs a bath!

I feel your pain...my Ole Girl is sitting up on a jackstand with suspension, awaiting Bandit transplants. Have most of the stuff, but have no business spending any more money at the moment, so she patiently waits...I did pull my bro-in-law's 63 F100 out the garage and wash it, though. took it for a spin too!! That helped put a smile on my face

Bump, bump Bruce, what's up with the Beast?

Sounds like he's about to start working on the new carbs from another thread....

Hey Guys,

I haven't done much lately. Been working alot. Just finishing up rebuilding a set of VM29's for Tom, then I'll start dipping and painting the VM33's. They are actually already jetted close (I think), so no parts to buy.

The motor still needs the head put on and the cams degreed. If I'm not working this weekend, I plan on getting that done. Then the motor will get put on the shelf so I can then start getting the frame ready. I have a friend that will be helping me do the frame bracing. Then eventually get the frame powdercoated and all back together.

Those carbs seem to be going for a good price on ebay. I saw them up to $695 the other day, good job. Where did you get those little aluminum choke plungers from?

They are up to $710.00 now. Plus $100.00 for the velocity stacks if wanted.

I got two sets of the choke plunger spools from a seller on ebay. I just tried to get some more from him, but he's no longer a registered member. I wish I had another set.
