Double nice!!!!

I got my motor out of the machine shop today. I can't wait to get started tomorrow. I ended up paying around $1700 for the machine work and for the guy at the shop to put it back together for me, plus he gave me a one year warranty on it.

That old thing? It may be OK if you replace that back window and swap the motor for a 396... Guess the color is OK....

I'm new here too!!!! Trying to get mine on the road for the first time. Still waiting for my custon 15x12 corvette rallys to show up. Hoping it will be a little faster than before. Went from a 250 inline 6 to a beefy 460 BBC in front of a true M-22. Should be fun!!!

Welcome from the Bluegrass state, gotta love the big blocks. I don't believe they're bad mechanics just ones that don't know what their doing.

This is my first engine install man I feel good, but I don't want to do it again.

There's nothing better than installing an engine and hearing it fire up and run right the first time.
There's nothing worse than installing an engine and finding out something big is wrong and it wont ever be right.
