Here's the 396 with th350 trans still attached. This was just taken out of the chevelle, right before i dropped the frame off the body.
Now the trans off the back of the engine. Prepping the engine for paint.
Ok here is my deal of the year. I found a 1970 muncie m20 4spd with a 621 bellhousing 4spd pedal set, and a floor shift 4spd steering column. 150.00 Thats it, all that for 150.
Another pic of the 4spd
Pic of the bellhousing dirty.
And the rest of the above mentioned parts.
Got the the bellhousing clean. This thing was flaw less no cracks, stripped threads, or warpage.
All primered up.
All painted up waiting for installation.
Now the m20 is painted.

Original GM 71 chevelle big block fan shroud. Picked it up at carlisle for 40.00. Been looking for one on ebay for 2 years.

Factory horn relay. Still works, just looks like crap!
Better view of it.

Weiand stealth intake beadblasted before i had it clear-coated.

1971 Chevelle SS 402 painted valve covers with correct wire holders and plug wire looms intact. Bought them off evil bay for 90.00 shipped to my door. The ad lists them as no rust and normal wear marks. I emailed them to see if they could send me better pics. The reply was "they were already packaged up and the boss didn't want them getting damaged just laying around unprotected." I figured that was good enough for me so i clicked the "BUY IT NOW" button and waited. $24.00 shipping and 2 weeks later they arrived. They were badly dented in many places and rusted inside. WTF??? This is from a seller in hooversville pa. 1 hour away!!!!!!! Thats it i'm done dealing with them. All that and now i am stuck yet again with something that needs major surgery.
