Gothamsproblem Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Well will be a new member, but very very excited to be be amongst y'all. Currently building a 1970 Monte Carlo. I've got a 2 bolt 454 big block, she's been to the machine shop. Bored out .40 over. My stock heads are tuned to the cam I got. Just a little stage 1 comp cam (I've never messed with an aftermarket cam so I wanted to start on the smaller end of the spectrum. Dished pistons and an eagle crank to boot. I've just recently finished purchasing all the items I need to do a fuel injected style fuel line, fuel pump out of tank with a return line. It all leads to an 850 Holley brawler carb. As of now putting timing cover gasket on and cradling it in the car, hoping she starts this is my and my buddy who's helping first old school build on the motor so fingers crossed. We're also in the process of cutting out the floor pans and fixing up the braces. But all n all hoping to have her on the street in early spring! Thank you 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamsproblem Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 The love. To answer yes it's marvel, I've always loved the joker. His knowledge about being trapped in a comic. And just the sinister sarcasm lol. This is the latest of pics! And Mr. Dennis can pick on me all he wants. I know I've tortured him with enough questions everyday 🙂 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
