      The build looks awsome. The pictures are blocked at work so I have to look at these at home. Are you or have you dyno the engine? I have never had any luck with the edelbrock carbs is why I ask.

      The edlebrock carb he's using is a loaner from a previous project that never came about. It was used to replace the engine's tired Quadrajet and provided years of faithful, dead-nuts reliable service in the engine's previous form. I believe he has plans to replace it in time.




      Regarding the air cleaner Chris:

      Here's an idea. Get an Air Clearner like this from Billet Specialties and I'll take it to work and media blast it to match your valve covers. Even better you could get an extra GTO decal to use as a reverse stencil. When done peal it off and you have a cast-look aluminum lid with the polish GTO logo.


      One of these.

      painted the firewall last night

      its a semi gloss I'm not real happy with it but it will do for now and looks better than it did when I pulled the engine

      Eventaully the engine will come back out and the body off the frame and then at that point I'll coat the frame with POR 15 and paint the engine bay satin black

      You might want to clean up that trans, and spray some aluminum engine paint on it. Get some high temp primer and paint it, should look great! For 10 bucks, you cant go wrong.

      got my jegs starter that weve had for years finally mounted and lined up right.

      did a test fit of the engine first without the trans to check for clearance of the starter so I didn't have to put it on from under the car.

      tried to put the engine and trans in the car and then remembered the headers lol well ran into a bit of a snag but will probably wait till next weekend to finish up getting everything lined up and headers put in.

      My 4 yr old niece





      Starter



      Teaser with just the engine no trans and no headers in in the car.

      the fun part will be getting buying all the little stuff and reassembling the accessories for the engine

      still need to get the pertronics setup for the distributor, spark plugs, plug wires, thermostat, etc.....


      but budget just got hit again, I think I stripped up my passenger coil over on my colorado today on a pothole. around $600 shipped for the front set but a friend at stylin trucks said he might try and get me his discount

      Looking great Code-Red. The 'Poncho' valve covers look really sweet!

      Cheers,

      My prop valve was floating above the frame to clear my headers when I got the car. I fabbed up a bracket to mount it to the frame behind the inner fender, using two existing holes.

      I think if I have to do it again I will put it under the toe-board.

      Yup, had the same problem. If you 'leave it as is' movement of the motor will cause the header to rub against the valve and you will work a hole into the side of your headers. Not to mention the heat sink it creates for your valve being so close (the stock exhaust I believe tucks in a bit tighter to the trans).

      I had to move my p-valve to another location (I swapped out a Bird front-disc/rear-drum p-valve and mounted it under my Master-Cyl).

      Cheers,

      finally bolted the headers and motor woo hoo

      now I just need to start assembling the clutch parts, all the dam accessories, plugs, wires, distributor, and a bunch of other things before I get the body panels back on and then I can take it up to the shop for its first startup

      should I wait to fit up the exhaust and do the first startup on open headers? lol

      yes exhaust will be getting replaced eventually with bigger tubbing






      Damn brake proportioning valve was in the way of the driver side header so just moved it up and out of the way for now I'll figure out later how I mount to mount it

      Looking good! Those headers look like they tuck up nice and tight to the body! Any chance you can get a shot from the front to see how they are in relation to the crossmember?
