Did you put a 468CI in that puppy? And just an old twist since you have double lights you can put Aircraft Landing lights Part No GE 4537 in for the high beams It sure will brighten things a bit at night lol

Gotta love a Poncho!!!

JesterGrin: How did you know?......(another member here built the engine.(BEbert)) I like the Landing lights idea. Do they draw much Amperage?

mebe007: Watcha got?

This might help for the light. http://www.bulbconnection.com/ViewSI...1804/item.html

Well for the street I like the 468 and 496. If you have the funds I really like the 604CI lol. But for street Duty it is hard to beat the Ole 468 CI as more than that is hard to put on the ground for street Duty.

Eventually before I die lol. I hope to put this 600HP 468CI in my 73 Corvette.

Sorry for the clutter lol.

What I find funny is all of these Magazine readers that think you can not make HP with pretty much stock parts. On my little 468CI I have factory Heads just installed 2.19In 1.88 Ex with some porting work and bowl work. Matched Vic Jr Intake and will run a simple Holley 850DP. And yes the Cam is a Solid since Big Blocks do not like Hyd at higher rpm's mainly due to valve train weight. But this is a shooting forum so I am not going to go nuts here lol.

As a former owner of an engine machine shop, you are dead on with your comment.
Car magazines are to sell parts and that is it.
We called it "OD'ing on Hotrod while sittin' on the throne"

Nice bird!

Yep the ones that never made it to the bench lol.

Many years ago I was involved with the building of this little 705CI which was pretty much ground breaking at the time since I was kinda used to stroker motors at the time. But it was not easy.http://www.vintageair.com/media/cool200_250k.ASF

I can't keep it planted! Holley 950 by AED, Hydraulic roller.Th400(blown.. )3:55Auburn. Kaufmann CNC ported/chambered Al heads...

OK...I'll stop. Not a hot rod forum.

Anyone like my storage drawer? LOL!!

Thanks guys...

[JesterGrin_1]

I am also going with a Turbo 400 but with some mods and full manual valve body with a 3000 stahl and 3.73 gears. The auto is to try and save my IRS for awhile even though I have been through it all lol. 6 U joints is no fun lol.

Thanks for the Firebird pic, it looks awesome, makes me miss my '70 GTO that much more.

Now back to our regularly scheduled bench thread.

mebe007: Watcha got?

the other rod is a 1980 buick regal
W/ 388 stroker and a fully built TH350, 8.5rear with hardened axles an other goodies. in need of paint

Are those deer legs hanging on the wall there? Something to gnaw on during reloading sessions?

yep them be deer legs. i dry them out every year with a nice bend in them sometime split the toes. i them mount them on a nice piece of wood as a bow rack. make some very nice pieces.

[FWest]

Is this the reloading bench pic thred ?

[Jim Flinchbaugh]

Apparently, many of us like to "get the lead out" of the cars and into our firearms

[beanflip]

After the reloading on the bench this is used to haul the guns and ammo to the shooting range.

Nice clean bench and car. only car of that era i like better is the nomad.

[mebe007]

Did someone say Buick Regal?
Here's mine, 1981 version




Home built from the dirt to the paint

nice regal. good to see someone else enjoying them besides me.

i used to run those same wheels in 14"s but switched to 15" corvette rally wheels and never looked back.

Ya'll can start a car picture thread down in off topic if you guys want, this thread is for loading bench pctures. I'm digging the car pictures, but not everyone is (yes, we actually got a complaint).
