Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Haha! I couldn't even imagine ever doing it. I love going to shows and staring at details, but to honest, a smoothed block is never a detail I look for or even have ever noticed.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
if i would smooth some of the block out i would do the valey and all the holes to get the castingflash out and improve crackresistance and oil flowback

Looks good man! Love the wheels! How did you strip the block? I've got a few different coats of paint on mine and having a hell of a time getting it off. Cory

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
You don't have to slick the whole block, you can get the same results by just smoothing the front of the heads, the intake, water pump and the valley above the timing cover. The rest is hard to see when you get all the accessories installed but it sure makes cleaning the motor easier!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
No kidding. My wife always doubles the amount of money I think a project will take and triples the amount of time I think it will take. She has been pretty close to right every time.
