Lets see some engine pics

Just a little sneak peek. That shaft setup costs almost what I bought the car for 9 years ago :shock:

looks good but what do we got going on with coolant lines on the intake [-X

lol, I just noticed this post. That's how it was when I got it! I'll get it taken care of eventually. Definitely no air bubbles when filling through that thing though! :lol:

I just want to get the frickin' thing up and running.

I just picked up my 79 a couple days ago. The previous owner made a nice bubba job of the car now I get to fix it. Here's what it looks like now and my unassembled 400 that is going in it.

looks good but please tell me you not keeping that rubber fuel hose.

For right now I am. It is 3/8 fuel injection hose with the blue lining on the inside. I have not made my way to AN and steel braided hoses yet. I really need to step up to those. Thanx.

I know this isn't your guys' cup of tea, but i figured id post it up anyways...

I still have some detail work to do like painting the booster and running some convoluted tubing. The last thing is a nice set of chrome valve covers I'm gonna pick up real soon. They have no script or anything stamped into them, I wanted to keep a real clean look under there.

Its nice to see someone running an olds motor. And slimbo is there any issues with the rubber line? You seem to know your stuff so id be intrested on hearing the cons of it

i dont like rubber hose. its prone to breakage and can melt. with the way his setup is done it wouldnt take much to make it all braided line. there is a reason the nhra only allows 12 inches total. plus that filter should not be in the line beetween the pump and regulator. should really be before the pump.
