bonvo Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 spent some time today finishing up the hood pins with a little filing and tweeking then replaced all the u nuts that hold the front sheetmetal and grill on but not before making all of them flat due to not being able to find ones exactly like the factory ones which took a lot longer then i planned on as they are a lot tougher then i was expecting them to be put the grill on for modivation also removed the trim around the windshield things are looking good under it i may remove this entirely from the front and the rear windows Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 after looking at the state of the engine bay when i pull the motor and trans to do the engine swap i will be redoing a lot i will be stripping some of the bed lining back and stitch welding it then re bed line everything which means taking the whole front end off of the car after its painted but i planned to do this anyway Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Chevy 350. Sorry to let the cat outta the bag, bro. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 lmao micro your funny not a 350 though it is a chevy power plant as most of you know i have wanted a vg30 for a while but this landed in my lap for a really good price and would cost me a lot more to get the same amount of power out of the vg its a 3.8 out of a late 70's malibu bored 30 over, port and polished heads with larger valves, a wild cam, edelbrock intake and a holy 600cfm topping it, and hei comes with headers and poly mounts and just about everything to make it ready to drop in not to mention MUCH easier to wire, plumb, and get parts for, its also surprisingly small and weighs about the same as a vg30 Quote Link to comment
DaveSpecB210 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Not bad. Not bad at all. From the sound of things I had a feeling it was Chevy Quote Link to comment

Thats what tipped me off the new motor was probably Chevy. Well....at least that it wouldn't be Datsun or Nissan. I think it'll be pretty cool. We all prefer Datsun or Nissan but....hey...sometimes you just do what feels right for the situation. Nothing wrong with being different. Quote Link to comment

DaveSpecB210 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Can't please everybody. And why bother trying. Can only worry about pleasing yourself. It'll be cool. I can admit that even if I'd prefer something else. This way it'll appeal to Chevy people that probably wouldn't care for it otherwise. Not that that should be a goal either. I like not having a Facebook account. Quote Link to comment
