I've been meaning to get a sound/video clip of my 350 build ('72 Cutlass 442), she runs fantastic, I start up once a week and vary the revs. The car is fully mechanically functional, I step into it and the wheel spins till I let off. I will post the complete build once I get a little further into it, because this is a slow build.
- bored .30
- 10/10 crank
- moly rings
- autotec forged flatop pistons
- FM bearings (cam, mains, conrod)
- Comp cam XE262H, 218/224 @.50 on 110, .475/.480 lift
- Comp springs (100lb) and H lifters
- valve guides (brass), seals (HP), 3 angle VJ, resurface 5K
- new oilpump, waterpump, timing set
- '77 Qjet rebuild (CR HP kit)
- power steering rebuild kit
- new fuel and brake lines (double flared)
- new brake cylinders
- body bushings
- Hotchkiss rear suspension
- converted front disc brakes
- converted bench to console buckets
- complete trunk replaced (from rear floor back)

Still have the body work to finish (I see this as the biggest job), doors are finished (new metal and hinge kits) and the interior. I'm trying to refurbish most of the original equipment including the gas tank (soon to be installed), in the video I'm running from a 5gal. fuel can sitting on the front passenger side.

Lets get some pics up and show the progress on that 350! I need some inspiration.....

 

There's a video in the op, but I've got scattered pics of the build...unfortunately I wasn't documenting as well as I should have.

...more, I put a Transgo shift kit in but had problems with the valve body (seized 2nd to 3rd), managed to get a junker out of Colorado...tires squeel in 2nd.

 

Chassis, sand blasted, chemically treated, primed and chassis paint.

 

...more, few body work pics, used bits from a donor car and some new YearOne stuff.

...and

 

...and some more, painted dash pad, cleaned up the few parts that i'm not replacing from the interior.

 

...more interior, cleanup the radio, the tape deck needed new belts and a replacement motor drive transistor.

 

...more interior, grills were beyond redemption...I sandblasted the front and rear seats.

 

When it warms up a bit I'm going to start on refurbishing the gauges and the heater assembly (have a new heater core), then onto the body and paint. Despite all the (organized) kaos in my garage, i'm slowly moving forward...

Lookin real good.

 

Just wondering , what did you use on the chassis , that green stuff?

 

I used self etching primer, then black chassis paint.
