Thanks Kevin, Don does a great job and makes it look so easy. The heads were a great find, they really are big block treasure.

Thanks Regan, it’s hard to find much info on these heads. I called them a second design just because they came after the 074’s. Not sure about the year, what looks like a date code casting# 110082 is confusing. So best guess November 2000 (perhaps), or 1982, or 2011 (Nah, that’s too new I think), or some kind of Julian date/shift code stuff????.

I know they are discontinued and replaced by bowtie head 12363408 (made by Edelbrock) and then the current 19331427. https://www.classicchevroletperforma...oduct/head-33/

Thanks Ryan, Holy Crap! I guess a bad day, geez that’s carnage!



Here's some more bodywork progress, these first 2 pics were sent to me from Don about a month after the previous bodywork post. Working the left side, more of the same as the right (door twist, poor gaps, etc.) just not as bad, the inner fender did fit better on this side. The last 2 pics are also from Don, taken about a month after the first 2. Starting to fit the header panel and fenders to the SS hood (the best hood of the two), the center rear of the header panel was spliced and lifted first.
