Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Congrats, but when I first saw the thread, I started to reach for my Rosary. Let us know how the project progresses. (with pics)

So erle! I take it that new small-block "cardiac device" is for that very cool '69 El Camino sittin' in the background of those pictures, right?! (...man, do I ever miss my '69 Elco I sold off about 5-6 years ago now) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Yota, you MUST be thinkin' back to the days when Smokey Yunick (R.I.P.) Stated that he didn't think we'd ever see more than one HP per C.I. coaxed out of a small block Chevy.
WAY, WAY back when. 
And you may see me tonight

Ok, I've had the '68 (aluminum mesh grill) Chevelle Malibu El Camino since 1980. It's fully loaded with buckets & consol, Four Season A/C, PB, PS, auto, 350. It runs, but I've been planning to replace ALL the wiring harnesses, install a complete retro interior with the A/C system, and install a GMPP ZZ4 crate engine with a performance 700R4 transmission and a performance 12 bolt, with four wheel disks. I've recently been watching for the wiring harnesses, and have been pricing the ZZ4 (rated @ 355 HP & 405 torque).  Well, NO, that ain't no ZZ4!  It's a Vortec 5700 L31, (rated @ 255 HP & 330 torque)  WHY?  Cause it ain't for MY car, it's destine for that friggin' TAHOE of my wife's.   After the valve job about six months ago, it spun a rod bearing, and several other rod bearings were shot. So, JUST like EVERYTHING else in my life, MINE gets put on the back burner! F@%#!   Well, at least it's in.  I keep tellin' myself that "Someday my day will come" (G. Jones), But I REALLY think it MIGHT be time to stop chasin' my tail!
