Those of you doing these projects, how did you get started? I have always tinkered with my cars/trucks and had the bike in my avatar down to the frame and motor before building it back up, but doing a full blown build on a old car is terrifying.

Port matching the heads. (I will never do this again. Such a PIA and very boring)

I do this to every performance engine I build. One good reason to use aluminum heads. Just part of the blue printing process.
Went on a building spree when diagnosed with terminal Cancer in 2002. Built 2 drag cars and a street show car in a 5 year period. It was an insane pace but my son and I with some help pulled it off. All 3 were winners. The Camaro was always in or near the money and the Biscayne was a serious street/strip racer. If you look close there is daylight under the left front. That was through the mufflers air filter on and no nitrous. Lest hard on the street as well.
Chevell won its class in the 500 world of wheels. Stupid fast street car.
Yes.....it is supercharged 4 speed car.
one day I would like to build something like that maybe after I win the lottery. Lol
I just hit the lottery on a scratch ticket but I could use some expertise, how am I gonna build that Camaro on $20?
Mines been 15 years, whadda ya got??????
SlowG, that is just sick.
