Got it running yet?If so, how's it running??

I wanna see some vids ;)

I myself also got a 383 and I cant wait to drop it in my Elko...

Yeah it was running around for a bit but I'm trying to see what i wanna do with my car, So for now the 350 is going back in. I got no vids though, Soon I will .. Nice i see your in Compton, Cool to see someone else from the 310 on here.. hit me up when you got that elco running maybe we can get a race going.

Cool stuff Sir!. Always liked Caprices , how's it running now? :popcorn:

It was running great but i broke two transmission mounts and the motor mounts so i gotta change those and i should be good, Slowly but surely It's getting there.

I started taking some parts off that i don't need anymore, Was a little too crowded for my liking under the hood. Took off an oil cooler and another one for the A/c i believe. All A/C and heater parts and now removed.

Took off the front end to get it ready for primer.

Got the front end done and ready to get primered, Also shaved the antenna that was on the driver side.

Yeah that might be a while from now, just lost my job so thats on hold until I'm employed again.

But for shure, as soon as I get it up n running I'll hit you up for a friendly race.

Keep up the good work bro!!

Got a job so I can finally get some things going on this. Gonna get caught up to now, Then keep some steady progress coming, Stay tuned!!

This is it fresh out of primer..

CIMG1239.jpg

Now since then, I've cleaned up the engine compartment a lot. Took off all the crap I don't need. Pretty bad attempt at covering the hole from the heater core. But its better then a big ass open hole. Will get redone soon in fiberglass.

IMAG0505_zps6594ab05.jpg

First thing I got there was this here posi unit. Woot. Its about to get fun.

IMAG0499_zpsb23bbe2a.jpg

Little group photo of all the stuff I bought.

IMAG0498_zps938997cd.jpg

Got 2 ratchet shifters, The posi unit. Car cover, MSD ignition box, MSD ignition coil, Various Gloves plus some butt connectors and some things to keep the ignition wires clean.

That's it for now, But this should be moving at a decent pace in the coming months. Lots of performance upgrades coming this way. STAY TUNED!!
