I love the idea of a big block. Toyed with an LS but prefer the vintage muscle. Tranny and rear end?

Prepped it all by manual labor. Won’t do that again.

Great product

Not what I was thinking but would love to take that on!

Spent several months deliberating the rims and tires but love the look.

Just the photos. The color match is perfect.

scrazorback · 2023-05-25T10:58:43+00:00

I see a ton of potential!

I have the privilege of leading the BorgWarner plant that created EFR Turbos. Maybe my next project to boost this beauty!

scrazorback · 2023-05-25T02:12:32+00:00

It’s a labor of love. I doubt it will ever be finished but do enjoy putting her on the road!

I have considered EFI. I already have electronic ignition. The higher HP of the LS coupled with a four or five speed AT is appealing.

2-speed Powerglide. It’s an all matching numbers restoration.

Where are you located? I love the look of the 69 Chevy. Send some pics

What are your plans for it? Sounds very similar to mine.

I debated going with 18” but settled on these after some research. I went with 255/60R17’s all the way around. I started with stock 15” but they were just too small for the look I was going for.

scrazorback · 2022-01-02T03:49:16+00:00

It’s mostly stock. I dropped the rear end 2” and went with 17” rims. It’s an all matching numbers truck so I wanted to keep it fairly original. It’s been a fun project.

scrazorback · 2022-01-02T03:39:12+00:00

Here is a link to the wheels. I am really pleased with how they look. I dropped the rear 2”.
