Also in the process of takeing apart the front suspension as you can see and painting it. Here are some photos of the old crusty 302 the C-4 now cleaned and ready for new pan gasket and chrome pan 8) . I also have a 87 5.0 H.O. full roller motor that is going to be built to a 347 ( Thanks to my father in law who owns a machine shop here in town, I will be putting it together with his expert knowledge :woohoo: ) Should end up with around 400 HP :hd: with all the other goodies he has planned I will keep you guys posted on the specs.
Here some photos.

Old block with broken piston skirts and years of goo.

P.S. If any of you local guys need some machine work or parts hit them up at AIMS in sparks they do great work in my opinion granted I am a bit biased :lol: .
