I'm hoping to do this in the next few weeks. I yanked off all the exhaust today and I'll likely yank the old 396 out next weekend. Stay tuned!!!

What's going in its place???
60 over 454 with the Edelbrock Performance package. Nothing fancy, but should be enough to at least run with the new mustangs, Camaros and Challengers (I hope). :smilies_mit_hut019:
I've got new 1 7/8"th Patriot Headers, a Coan 3000 stall convertor and a Griffin Radiator going in with it. I'll be using my John Avery 850 dp and air gap manifold and I've got some stock appearing (taller) valve covers that I'll be using instead of those pictured. Engine will be all chevy orange (probably next weekend) aside from the intake, cam cover, dampner and my fancy chrome looking Edelbrock water pump that I already have.

Just need to swap intakes for the air gap and put it in.

These black valve covers won't clear the brake booster so had to go with stock appearing but tall valve covers.

Got to swap intakes and take off water and fuel pump and install on new engine.
New engine going in. I got some help from my buddy Jim. :thumbup:

Jim sold me the engine and races NMCA.
Here's one of his 3 Chevy 2's

As of 2:13pm Sunday (lunch break), engine is in but motor mounts and 2 bell housing bolts aren't tight and I need longer torque converetor bolts. Also need longer header bolts, need oil and order new valve cover gaskets. After that use oil primer, install distributor and accessories and pray everything works. :D

Wow looks good. [emoji106]🏼[emoji106]🏼
Thanks Vic!
I think it definitely looks better, but until I get the car painted (engine compartment and all) it's still kinda rough, but I still love this car. :)
Someday I'll make her pretty. Hopefully it will run better now.
Losing 100 pounds off the nose I now need to lower the front end.
