November 2000 - Stage 4

Well, it's now December and my Christmas Wish List is ready at Santa's Workshop... that is, I mean B&N HotRod (Bill's)!

Here's what I have been up to in the last couple of months:

The most exciting thing that has happened is the arrival of my new crate engine (350 Chev S/B) with a 650 holley double pump, Vortec heads and manifold, plug wires, oil pan and, get this, even oil in it! (I bet you all knew that!) So now I just have to drop it in, turn the key and presto... 330 hp. Hmmm... the "just have to" may take a bit of work!

Here's a picture of it in the crate.

Note: The Rod Works headers shown in the photo are not the ones I will be using. I will be using

Rod Works headers RW32 which are full length headers and they fit just dandy!

 

Now, here's a picture of it mocked up in the frame.

Hey... it's starting to look like we're getting there!

Hey, Bill, is that motor mount set up yet?

 

Go back to Stage 3- October 2000

See the progress... I'm hoping Santa will be good to me!
Go to Stage 5- December 2000
