HEY everyone, my new project just rolled in, its a 1972 350, and it needs work.
Im sure most of you guys out there know more than i do, so if anyone has had experience in dealing with these first gen cars, please tell me, and help me be preparied for what to excpect.
I also have a dilema. The engine is from a 70 corvette, and it doesnt fit properlly, now with the huge hood and the smaller engine, i need to figure out some things i could put in the engine capartment, to fill up some space,.

thanks,
kyle

that motor is not to bad in there. they came with the 350's factory also. and mine looked just like that after i put the 327 in it instead of the org. 454. (while it was being rebuilt only)
what do you want to know about them? i cant post a lot at once for some reason still

 

got any suggestions of things i could put around the engine so there isnt so much extra space?

 

LOL yeah headders, and ya can also do liek the old days where they would take the inner fender wells and attach aluminum to them and take it over to the motor and make it all shinny in there.

I personally never care for it . but dont mind when they would do a fire wall and also the front upper rad. support witht he chrome etc...

But as far as things to just take up space i guess the A/C units etc... other then that just clean her up real good and detail it etc...
