I'll post some pic's when it's finished, the paint job is in the works I just can't deside on a final color. I'm down to either a Tourch Red or Azure Turquoise. The cars has a all new interior which is black and I still need to find a good 12 bolt rear end for it too.

Wow

This has to be the longest living thread in history. I started this thread 2 years and 4 months ago with my 69 camaro.

I haven't had that car in over a year.

Here is the 396SS I'm currently working on. It just got a new paint job and is now getting a freshening on the motor.

Yeah sorry to call it but I'm pretty familiar with those cars had a couple back in the day. I was always a RS front end man!
No bottle?

**stoney2677** · 01-18-2008, 12:06 PM

no bottle. i was told the engine is not set up for that. 10.5 compression and bottom prob wouldnt support it.

Thanks. It is a low mile cream puff. It has 62 or 68,000 actual on it. The reason it needed a paint job is because the last owner which was the second decided to try to paint it himself. Not much else needed to say on that point.
It has some .10 over pistons in it with a Comp 292 hyd. in it. Someone also de burred the block and painted the oil valleys with the "red insulating varnish" to help aid oil return. Heads look stock other than a pair of springs. It has a TH400 with a Daaco 2800 conv. Runs really strong for what it is I thought. Sure it would run a lot stronger with a Holley instead of the 750 AFB that is on it.
It will just be assembled cleanly to re-sale.
