Well my project is nearing its end but I really have not been updating my thread, here is my 468 BBC already dyno tested at 586 a few more tweaks and it would have jumped up to over 600 HP, but since I didnt want nothing wild kept it simple. Eagle forged crank, Com cams custom hydraulic roller camshaft, JE/Srp forged pistons/rings, quick fuel carb, Edolbrock performer heads, Billet Specialties goodies such as valve covers, breathers, thermostat, MSD, March Pulley Serpentine, to go with it some custom Lemons Headers and hi-performance street transmission powder coated in red. Let me know what you guys think. Let me know what you guys think

Nice BB, yeah with all the LS motors on here it's nice to see a BB going in a Chevelle!

Thanks Rick, I was leaning towards it but with so many people following the trend and just ordering them off the shelf not knowing what really is in them as far as components. With mine I know exactly what went in this bad boy from every ARP bolt to the gaskets. But next build I may be joining the LS family but over all happy and what you think of the over all BB

Since you asked for opinions- I think that black BB engine looks awesome! I'd dump the auto and go with a manual trans.

Thanks a lot and That's what my Fiance has been telling me since she can drive stick shift real good and probably a better driver then me. But I live in the Chicago the stop and go stop and go is a pain. Plus this is going to be a cruiser my buddy convinced me to go with the power and I just went a long with it. It will probably never see the track or be ran to its fullest potential
