Talking to Manny today on the progress. Sounds like it should put down some good numbers at the wheels and look real purdy as well. Keep the pictures coming Manny.

Next spring, we will have to go over around Owen Sound to check out all the fresh rubber on the road. A friend had a low dollar 383 stroker with a healthy flat tappet cam in a Chevy II. He ran consistant mid 12s at the strip. You will be able to mix it up with some of the newer stuff.

impressive they pulled the l48 with the hood on the car and without an engine leveler. what had to come out of the nose to do that ? everything clears with the water pump off ?

 

[Brian Keery]

Will there be an autopsy on the L48?

I've sold the old engine to a guy here in town. He's going to rebuild it and I'll find out from him what killed it. I have no desire or room to keep the original engine.

Well I was back down to Breslau today to pick up the old engine and bring it home. Work on the car is progressing very well.

I know this is your thread Manny but I hope you don't mind if I post a couple of pics.

THM 400 all rebuilt and ready to go back in:





Another pic of the 383:



Thanks again Manny for the great work you guys are doing.

 

[Manny@Dasilva]

No problem Greg , sorry I could spend a little more time with you, but as we see from these pictures , we are just wee bit swamped
