And a quick engine shot. Ok, I can here the groans already.... it's a Chev..... get it out.... oh no what would ol Shel think... its not a cobra because it does not have a ford in it......and so on.
This is a nice little 355 SBC with a solid roller, decent compression and a few other goodies. It should clean up nice and have an old school look and sound the goods and I am looking forward to hearing it through sidepipes rather than the restricted rear existing system that was on it.
It has manners like a puppy in that it's marking it's territory and leaking everywhere (some may say a typical chev). This will be an engine out, fel-pro kit, tidy up the engine bay, run a low mount alternator and then back together.
What is cool is how far the engine is set back. All is behind the front suspension and steering by a long way and initial drives felt nicely balanced.
More updates on this as I get to it, which depending on my pace, will be soon or not so soon.
