427chevelle’s 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

As much as I love racing, racing takes its toll on 35 year old parts. I blew a head gasket at the track. So I was forced to rebuild, and while I was at it, I modified a little bit.So here I am 8 years after I blew the head gasket, still not back on the road. Having other things take priority over the car, and finding out I made a bad calculation somewhere. I am having to replan things out. Now I am going to use the same block, pistons, rods, crank, and cam. But I am going to be changing up the top end a bit. I am going to be running a set of ported 990 racing heads with a 325cc intake volume and a 118cc chamber with 2.300 and 1.880 valves. The intake set up is going to be an Edelbrock RPM AIR GAP with a Holley 4606S 3 Barrel. The transmission is a TH400 that was built by good friend. So when I pull everything out of storage and being to get back to it I will have new pictures up.Plan B... I took the advantage of a friend parting out his weekend racer and got the 454 that was in it for $1000. After buying a new intake and putting a Holley 850 on it getting it installed and partly hooked up, well duty again called and I was deployed. So when I get back from overseas I should be driving it a few weeks later.Dont forget to sign the guestbook and let me know what you think.

Well here are some pics of the rebuild. Here are the pistons ready to go in. Most of the short block is together, just a few more things. The heads are on, lifters are in, push rods are in, and the rocker arms are getting there. Here it is all together on the engine stand. Mated up with the Trans ready to go in. I'm on the right and my friend Ben is on the left. Tilt down and it goes in... Here is Ben making it understand that it wants to go in. You know that you have a big car when you can stand in the engine bay while the engine is in it. And here is what it looks like, almost there. To see the overview go to page 1. To see the parts for rebuild go to page 2. You are here looking at the Progress of the Rebuild Page 3. To see the interior go to page 4.
