Thread: An excited new 57 Chevy owner!

Tweet

Hi everyone. I'm 38 yo, but I'm very new all of this....this forum, owning a hot rod and learning about cars in general (late bloomer I guess). I'm very happy about being a part of this culture/life finally. Okay, I'll jump to the good stuff - I bought my dream car, a 57 chevy, and here's a list of what came in it :

350 small block by Brown Engineering
700R Overdrive w/2500 stall
B&M Quicksilver shifter
Manley ultra lite flat top piston w/float pins
Eagle rods w/ARP bolts
Isky hydraulic roller cam
492 camel hump heads, 1.60/2.02 stainless steel valves, screw in studs & roller rockers
Victor Jr intake w/ Holley 750 double pumper, no choke
Hedman headers and dual exhaust
9" Ford posi w/390 gear & driveshaft by Jackson Powertrain

I'm not sure exactly what all of these parts mean...I have so much to learn. I've also posted in another area of the forum due to some issues with the fuel getting too hot....they're being very very helpful, this website is soooo nice.

Here are some pictures of my car (and two of my kids who seem to love the car as much as I do), let me know what you think. I would really love to hear
