Been a while

It has been a long while since I have been on here. Long story short, the car has been sitting for 4 years now. I pulled the body off, frame and suspension is all powder coated and reassembled with new bushings and disc brakes up front. Bought some 15" Ultra R Window wheels and Mickey Thompsons. Body is back on the frame and there she sits. Been trying to save up all I can to build my 455. We have since bought a house that needed a "full" remodel so the car got pushed back again. It will be back in the garage in the next couple of months but for money purposes I have decided to do a LS swap so I can drive it now and enjoy it until I can build the correct massive power house 455 I have always wanted. I will keep yall updated as I go this Fall.

Hello from Marble Falls.
I lived in Amarillo for several years.
Worked at Owens Corning up there for 7.

Meet me in Brady and slide this puppy from
truck to truck for $600. It is a 70 455 w/E heads.
I will be pulling the compressor and exhaust mannys.
The rest is pretty much complete with the added
bonus of a 2 bbl. It even has the proper valve covers
for the A body with reliefs for the A/C and brake booster.
It came from a Supreme and was knocking...
