Finally got my new BBC fired up!! (video)
Permalink  

Well after having my car off the road for the better part of 2 years she made a big leep forward this weekend when she came to life. Took me forever to choose the parts and took longer to get them. A week before my pistons showed up my machinest/builder had a heartattack so it sat on a shelf most of last summer. Even after it was built nothing came easy...kick out oil pan didnt fit, short water pump acc brackets didnt fit...and the list went on and on. But now it's down to the nitty gritty.

Nicely done. What's not to like? A '67 with a big block. Oh baby!

How about more photos of the car, front, side and rear?

This week im getting the under side done...next week it's put the interior back in.
