i would be the same way. That is a great score on the motor and all that eye candy just stepped it up from a 3 to a soild 10. Everytime I see a great build in the making I wish I had the space and resources to do a complete restro. Your truck is going to be killer when your done. Keep it up...

Thank you for the kind words, I actually don't have the space right now either. My truck is stored at my Brothers house. He has a nice 3 car garage so he has plenty of space, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be able to do this resto at all. This resto has been one of the hardest and most frusrating things I have ever done. I'm already 2 years into it and have a ways to go.

Today i took my small block out of my frame and put my big block in it's place

Bennett68C10 · 11-08-2011, 05:29 PM

Have to modify the exhaust a little, not as bad as I thought it was going to be

**67cheby** · 11-08-2011, 05:40 PM

71Sleeper · 11-08-2011, 05:47 PM

Thanks Keith, they are Hedman Elites 68618 for a 70 Chevelle 454. They fit perfectly with my 68-71 mounts. Just have to trim the passenger side frame rail about a 1/4" for extra clearance on the tubes. If you look closely in the pics above you can see the blue painters tape where they need a little extra clearance

That's fixable, just rip that 350 out like I did and put a Big block in there

I do love those Big Block Impalas, I have a soft spot for them but I love these C-10's more. Enjoy.
