Finally did the engine swap...

Hi Guys,

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything on here. But, I haven't really had much to post about!

So, I finally took a week off from work, and worked even harder by doing my engine swap! It's just a 260 hp GM crate engine, with a CS-274 cam, Edelbrock performer intake, rebuilt 1977 Camaro Quadrajet...but, I'm pretty happy with the way it is looking in the old '72!

I hope to fire it up tonight!

Oh, I also did a complete Flowmaster exhaust, so I hope to get a video posted, once I get it dialed in!

Here's a pic of the engine bay when I first got it versus how it's looking now...

Thanks Guys!



Chris

Nice job! I'm hoping to drop a 350 crate motor in my truck sometime this summer.
