1960 Biscayne

With a car that original and in that kind of condition -- I would keep it original but hey man, it's your ride so if you want to go all Jay Leno on it and put in a 502 I'm not going to make a fuss! lol

Wyoming is awesome in the summer but you need butane powered underwear to keep your cheerfull demeanor in the winter. It's dry as all get out though which is part of why that old gal looks so sweet.

Holley put an LS in their shop truck project and went to great lengths to disguise it as a carb'd bbc. I wonder if you could make an LS look like a W-motor?

Edit: Here's a thread with a pic of the engine, in case you haven't seen it: link

I like the way you think - that would be way cool!

Today I did a complete tuneup on it. New dist cap, rotor, plugs and points. She's much happier now. I figure she'll get better with a bunch of fresh gas and another dose of Seafoam.

I took her on a 40 mile drive today, most of it highway. She has a wind assisted top speed of 80 mph. She's pretty happy cruising at 65-70. The choke needs to be adjusted - the transition from cold to warm is not smooth. Probably is gummed up a bit.

Here's a funny story about the radio. I turned it on and I heard a crackle on the radio, then nothing. Turned it back off and started doing other stuff. Came back and was cleaning the dash and knobs and I turned it on by accident - and after about 20 seconds it started to work!

And the dadgum cigarette lighter still works too!
