If you are on a budget, get a skip white HEI distributor on ebay. They are about $50 and a major upgrade from points style ignition.

Clean,paint and detail the engine compartment so the new motor has a pretty home.Use either stock or aftermarket wire looms and keep everything looking neat.It's a lot easier now than after everything is done.

Re: Excited..Any Suggestions??
^.. Agree! this is good advise! clean, paint, and redress anything under the hood you feel needs attention.
also, you might want to get an old pair of valve covers and cut them up so you can use them during valve lash adjustment, helps keep all your hard work clean a little longer. |

Re: Excited..Any Suggestions??
OK, here's whats going in:
New 350 Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold Edelbrock Performer Carborator MSD Distributor Edelbrock Valve Covers Edelbrock Air Cleaner New Starter New Altenator New Water Pump New Timing Cover New Motor Mounts New Fuel Pump & Filter New Flywheel New Harmonic Balancer New Belts & Hoses I AM PUMPED! Does anyone happen to know the color code for the burnt orange color that Chevy has been using on some of the Vette's and the HHR and the Avalanche? I think that's the color I'm going with for paint with black interior. I'll post pics when we finish the engine! THanks for all the help guys! |
