Not under the hood yet but when I'm done with my 68 it'll have a 460 Ford BB backed by a C6 tranny and 9" rearend.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-25-2011, 11:25 PM

Well......................

This is what's going back in my 72 Longhorn.

Except with one more turbo.

Longhorn Man · 10-25-2011, 11:31 PM

got a cad big block in my longhorn

**special-K** · 10-26-2011, 06:51 AM

I'm picking up four Pontiac 389s next week. I'd like to rebuild one for my nostalgic hot truck '67 GMC project.

ChevLoRay · 10-26-2011, 11:02 AM

If I could, I'd be a Ponti-Yakker, too.

Loved my 389 in my '64 Bonneville. Could it have been the Hydramatic?

My ex-brother in law had a bored/stroked 421 in a '55 Bel Air 2-dr sedan that was plumb nasty.

GASoline71 · 10-26-2011, 12:27 PM

I got a line on a Buick 425 "nailhead".

Yep.

It was in my 68 corvette. Seeing how everything here in the winter likes to flash rust from sitting, bare metal wise, I'm not taking the chance of my new engine rusting away. So, I'm taking the engine and trans that's for the vette, and putting it in the Longhorn. Big Burn Outs!

69C-owner · 10-31-2011, 01:23 AM

Did the vette run with the cummins in it? That would be cool

69c-owner, get a set of tri-tube headers. almost a direct fit, or cheap Summit $99 second gen firebird headers.

Tri-Ys for what application? I'll need a set when I get a 389 built.
