[Chevelle-list] Value of a 454?

Have a chance to pickup a late 70's vintage 454. The owner wrecked the vehicle it was in and says that the engine was just rebuilt. Its complete less the carb. A quick inspection under the valve covers indicates that it is extremely clean. The owner wants $2000 for the engine. Do you guys think

Re: [Chevelle-list] wiring harness

Ken, Check your grounds. Had a similar problem when I put mine together. Make sure that there is no paint where the dash harness connects to the dash frame and also make sure that the dash frame is fee of paint where it mounts to the body. If your not sure, try jumping the harness ground to ba

Re: [Chevelle-list] Re-Assembly

I completed everything I could on my car before I set the body back down. It did make it extremely easy to do the work. If I had a place to hang the fuel tank and put a seat, I could have driven it around the block. You can see some pictures of it in the restoration section of my web site. Thank

[Chevelle-list] Suggestions on Chery Pickers

I agree with Karl. For the limited amount you are going to use it, go for price. I picked up mine at Harbor Freight and it has installed at least a half dozen engines. The key to long life it to keep the hydraulic cylinder closed when not in use. If you allow the piston to rust or get nicked it w

Re: [Chevelle-list] Steering column cover Question

Eddie,   The cover under the column is the same on the SS and the Malibu as long as its not an AC car. If you have AC there is an additional vent attached. For reference auction 230005491166 is correct. The other is not from a 70-72. Dan Solomon http://www.freewebs.com/chevelles1970/
