It lives!
 

Fired up the 355 today and it came to life like it was nothin. I guess I put everything back together right. There's one more thing to check off the list.

I went from ****** 336 heads to 062 Vortecs and a new Performer RPM AirGap intake and added a new K&N filter and Moroso Super HEI ignition kit. I also got an electric fan, all new gauges and a line lock. It should take me from about 9:1 to 10.5:1 and 300hp to about 390hp and 425 ft-lbs of torque, according to a CHP buildup. And, I got rid of all that gay chrome.

Going from standard heads to the Vortec style was more work than I realized, I didn't think about the little stuff like throttle brackets and plug wire looms, but it's all done now.

The heater core went though, so I gotta replace that when I tear out the dash and put in the 78 one. I'm glad I didn't already replace it cause I'd be pissed to have to take it out again. So the next project is the dash swap and wiring up all the new gauges. Then comes the line lock and subframe connectors... are these cars ever actually done???

sweet man!!! definitley looks better without that chrome. something about it just blahh. maybe its just the bad quality picture. good luck tho man.

Looks much better. All the added power will be nice also!!

Love it!

looking good

niiiice

I like it without all the chrome also, looks good...

Honestly I'm not a big fan of chrome on motors unless the entire thing is done up. It looks out of place on most motors- not to mention that its usually on trailer queens that see maybe 3 miles a year..defeats the purpose of the car unless you drive it and enjoy it!!

thats awesome

sweet lookin motor man

ohhhhhhhhhh shinny

that looks nice !

I'm gonna get some videos soon once the weather clears up and I install my line lock. Adios BFGoodriches.

Sweet...cant wait to see that video...
