check this out...

we got the m otor in a few weeks ago and now that we fabricated a radiator support we got to bolt on the front end of the engine.

-Randall's Rack Power Steering pump
-smog reducer pulley (for the 1989 5.0 HO)
-Classic Auto Air condensor

wiring will still need to be completed

after much frustration of a leaking water pump and intake manifold, the engine turned over today. without mufflers i enjoyed the roar of the motor and rumble in my chest haha

the final results (wiring not perfect yet and no export brace)

Looks great...the breather matches the fins on the valve covers that way.

'70 1/2 split bumper Camaro

Although, i'd have to say a '68 Boss 429 or '67 GT500 would be top of my list as far as vintage goes.

There were wwwwaaaayyyy too many good looking cars back in the day to choose one or even a dozen. Some of my favs are old Grand Prix, 442, 340 Duster, 455 SD TransAm, Mustangs, 390 AMX... the list goes on and on.
