What accessory drive is that you are using? That's a wide belt. Thanks for the compliment on my motor...it even looks better now.

Love it!!

I took my front clip off when I stuffed my 454 in there too

Oh that belt I am using is a 1" Cog (positive drive) from Black Mountain
http://www.blackmountainprecision.com/

At the time I was getting my 454 tuned up, my alterator Vbelt set up was just not holding, especially offroad with a load on the engine, slippin and the belt getting hella hot. A buddy of mine had the 2" version on his 67 comaro.
The 1" solved all my issues. Direct drive cog belt so no slipping. Awesome!
I still use a Vbelt for my power steering pump.

Got the block pulled out today, starter ring gear & flywheel need to be replaced as well.... more pics to come.

Ha! HellYa! BBCs For Life!

Got the dirty truth about the block today. (see pics below). The was head and manifold gaskets were all burnt up and worn, lots of friction and wearing of the rod bearings, and the valves/pistons are rusted over in certain spots.

This does however mean great news for the rebuild of my engine

Taking the block to the machine shop and he is going to let me know what he thinks possibly rebuilding it and maybe end up getting a new block.

Got the news from the machine shop, they have to go .60 over and should have it back any day now. Going with flat top Pistons and they are doing the new cam bearings, melling oil pump, and new rings. He said something about the crank as well, polishing or finishing and a few other things I didn't catch.

As I am waiting for the block I used it as a chance to order some more parts:
Got a chrome Edelbrock performer fuel pump, http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/1721/10002/-1
Jegs starter http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performan...10001/10002/-1
and chrome oil dipstick, and the flywheel Ring gear http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performan...60151/10002/-1
