after many issues with my 429 bb, i have decided to get rid of it and go with a chevy smallblock. i want this car to be a reliable driver/cruiser so i went with a blueprint crate motor, 355 cui. backed by a new rebuilt 400 turbo. its at a garage now being worked on. it had alot of other issues like the firewall and inner fenders and steering column and wiring. but my buddy is correcting all those problems. we are just about ready to install the motor/trans and fab up motor mounts. im replacing the shocks, springs, brake , and fuel lines while we have the fenders off. the hardware holding everything {sheetmetal} was all mismatched or missing,{ thanks painters }so we are replacing all that to. the painters told me the frame was not perfectly straight, to explain why my hood didnt fit perfectly, but we can now see the frame is fine, they had the grill in incorrectly and the hood couldnt go down all the way. i will post some pics soon.
