Not much to look at right now. Frame is out from under it and getting ready to paint the frame. Motor and transmission are built for it. I think a 454 bored 30 over should move it down the road ok. It has good heads on it with a 580 lift cam.

I would recommend using an epoxy primer on all parts before using a primer surfacer or even body filler. Epoxy is waterproof whereas any primer surfacer is porous and will hold moisture. Not sealing steel from the elements, even stored in a garage can…not can…WILL lead to rust later.

Pelle, Your Holley does not have a return line provision. Depending on the fuel pump being used you may not need a return hooked up. A std Holley blue electric uses a dead head regulator. An advantage of using a return style regulator with an electric pump is that it allows the pump to
