Re: Great Grandpa's Legacy reborn

Welcome to the new parts lineup! Dontcha just love fresh clean parts along with a new longblock to mock everything up? We certainly do, introducing the next 350 on the line from within our back burner she'll be brought to life as a stock rebuild with very mild upgrades. needless to say we would need to start completely over adding the very proven Edelbrock performer intake and using a spacer plate to help with any chance of boiling fuel, rebuilding the original Quadrajet locally as we have never messed with one in all honesty so we had that built outside of the garage by a good friend, upgrading to a modern HEI setup with new cap and rotor (another in stock item like the intake) finding a non cracked driver exhaust manifold from the graveyard locally, ridding ourselves of the original a/c components such as hard line, compressor, condenser to include fresh new pieces shown such as the waterpump, power steering pump, and fuel pump. New starter, battery and radiator added in as the list grew more and more from our down the street oreillys (which have been extremely helpful as they know is fairly well from multiple truck projects) and our local Motor parts store with the occasional summit order. She will be a mainly stock rebuild with a few advancements to help it along as a daily driven vehicle. Shot the new block with a can of orange engine enamel to freshen her up and finished off the valve covers to match.
