Right now I am thinking of stuffing the 326 from the LeMans in this one and adding a Performer intake with a Qjet. Dave doesnt want lots of power, and the old 326 runs ok, so with a couple upgrades it should be fine for him. HEI, the intake, and maybe some headers, but it could still use the stock manifolds with a basic dual exhaust. That would let me use the 400 or the spare 455 in the LeMans and do something fun with it.
I should have masked it better, now I have to shoot more black on the frame and firewall. The brake parts are here, but they have the wrong ends on them, so I need to do some flares again. Should have just saved the $$ and built them myself. Still trying to decide if I will pull a MC from another car or buy a new one with a booster and put it on. Maybe just roll by the junk yard pick one up and make it work. In a couple days the LeMans will go in the shop alongside the GTO so it can donate parts directly from one to the other. Still need to get a carpet since the LeMans had a junk one in it, but I can do the sound/heat barrier stuff and get everything else done. Havent decided on a headliner, might just build one rather than struggle with bows and creases.
I got my groove back, and I want to work on stuff again. Part of it is the new set of heads I got yesterday for the alky 455.
