Slowly but surely getting ready to work on the car, some more...Heater delete is all done, fender back on... that wasnt alot of fun... Picked up 350 trans last weekend... Probably gonna yank engine in a couple weeks and get ready for a cam change.... will be getting lifters done( limited travel) and getting cam and lifters coated, and will be ready to swap it out. It probably seems crazy to you guys , that im removing engine, just to swap cam...but i may redo my oil pump pickup while its out...and it will be alot easier to degree cam and check P/V clearance. Im anxious to see if new cam, trans, and some weight management wakes the car up a bit... also , gonna work on doin another carb for it, as well. Looking for 11teens!

As you can see, it needs some cleaning...
