Yeah, I know the tire is low. Headers are temporaries generously lent to me by Bonzo so I won't abuse my silver ones. Great to make some progress for sure.

Gotta finish the cam break in, then finish the brake lines, torque up the suspension, set the pinion angle, get a driveshaft and some other odds and ends. Spring cruising is the goal.

Absolutely! Alternator is a 37A POS. On there so I can run a belt.

This is not close to final- it's just so I can get the cam broken in and get the running gear on.

hey,
why not run a serp belt system?
if so i might have some pulleys laynin around from my race car that i sold , that you can have,
also have a bunch of arp engine bolts polished/chrome that are new left over from project that i have no use for.
you can have that stuff too. if youd like
p.m. your address and i'll send you a bunch of misc. stuff you can use .
i'm cleanin out the garage and stuff just taken up room

p.s. obvoiusly hardware is standard not metric, thats why have no use for it anymore since all these new LScrap fbody's are mostly metric

HAHA! It's surprising how many Olds parts DON'T fit!


FWIW, here's a crappy cell phone vid right before I shut it off after the break in period:

Hah. Wish I had the $ for that. Well, sorta. I don't like the way LS1s sound.
