        (shes pissed off right now)

well this is how she sits now, in my garage for about 3 weeks with no pos engine in it

 this is the beast, a 1973 454 out of a chevelle, after the 1970 chevelle they started cutting back on hp :( but this year has 275 hp, and a good 390 ft pounds of torque :)

the engine has been sitting in the back of the truck since the day i got it, so all the work ive done has been in the bed

didnt have valve covers so it gave me an excuse to buy some chrome. hell yeah!

looks pretty clean and the bottom end looks good, its just a used engine, so im just gonna throw it in and hope nothings wrong, i also seen the valves and they look brand new so it should be good to go

big ass mess

old p.o.s engine, i looked the numbers up again, and its acctually a 307, and not a 327 so basically its a 307 boat anchor lol but not 24 hours later my moms boyfriend buys it from me for 100 dollars!

here are some new parts i got for it...

after realizing my old exhaust manifolds had a crack in one i got a set of summit racing headers!

next was  a fuel pump, due to the fact the other one had a huge ass dent in it

also a new water pump

 then there is my 750 holley double pumper, my uncle had heard i got a big block and gave this to me

 so basically those are the new parts, i need a new oil pan to drop it in the i have to buy

a radiator

plug wires

water pump pulley

brackets
