Engine is in!
Even though all the sheet metal is off it was a pain getting it in. Because I designed the trans tunnel to be a tight fit, I had to drop the steering out of it and take the exhaust manifolds off to get it to slide in.

Yeah, I haven't pulled the trigger yet on one yet. A lot of people think I should go with the 50s Batwing cleaner, but I think it really doesn't fit this era of car. I was thinking of going with that one, but was thinking it might be to much. I did think about using stock. I just don't know. I'm open for any suggestions on this, since I need a little help on this front.

with your talents.....
That air cleaner shown was under a hundred, I love that old cal custom look, I especially like it when there is the engine color between the ribs.. they also make power steering caps, and other do dads... I don't know, if I am going stock i go stock looking but I get funny mixing chrome with aluminum, moroso gold covers with chrome air cleaners etc etc etc

I started hanging the front sheet metal back on to the car as well as some trim this weekend. It's starting to look like a car again.

Hey man, nice ride. What type or model intake manifold are you using and what type and model Edelbrock carburetor did you install. I have that exact same car and want to do the same thing. I'm just lost on where to buy the parts and which parts to buy. I also wanted to know what power window kit are you installing. i would also like to know where you got all the replacement stuff for your front suspension from. If you could please respond back and let me know who manufacturer and what model type or number it is i would greatly appreciate it. Your car is coming out very nice. Thanks.

The 394 intake was off a 64 Olds 4dr. It is just a 4-barrel that I found in the junk yard. Doing quick calculations I came up with 650cfms being the max I'll ever need for the engine size. Carb is a Edelbrock Performer 650cfm. I haven't run it yet, but it may need smaller jets to restrict the fuel a bit, we'll see.
Suspension:
I replaced all the A-Arm bushings, Swaybar bushings, and upper ball joints.
Upper a-arm bushings are from Rare Parts. Napa sells them but will take weeks to get in and you have to pre-pay (They are expensive FYI). Napa offers their brand for the uppers but they don't fit, not even close. Lowers are Napa Brand and fit right. Swaybar bushings are Napa brand as well. Upper Ball joints I got from Car Parts Discount (expensive), so only replace them if you have to. If the ball-joints are fine and you just have torn boots you can get universal-boots from Energy suspension (just measure yours up and find your size.) I made mine out of a rack-and-pinion boot by cutting it down. Little redneck, but works fine.
Power windows:
Kit is from Autoloc, but bought it from. Buy it from a vender it is cheaper than going through autoloc.
If you need any other info let me know. I feel like I know every nut and bolt on this car at this point and have searched to the end of the earth for parts, so feel free to ask anything. I wish I knew then what I know know. There aren't very many of us 62 4dr guys out there so we have to stick together. Hope this info helps. If you need more details fell free.

Natas, super nice job on your car. You offered advice, so here it is. Do you have any idea if an Impala of the same year has the same suspension? I am going to put air ride on mine, but use tubular control arms. And if you did your own artist rendering of your car, I would be glad to compensate you for doing one for me.

Looks like the Scarebird front disc conversion. What did you settle on for master cylinder and proportioning valve? Are you using the original GM vacuum pump or are you tapping into the intake manifold? I'm in the final phase of this on my '61 Dynamic 4 door and need to make some decisions. Thanks!

Could have used those bushings a couple of months ago, they are hard to get ahold of. PS. NAPA uppers don't fit. I'm sure someone around here will need them at some point.
