Yea yea yea...here we go...haha

Quick update with more pics to follow tomorrow...

Scored a '68-'72 Chevelle 12bolt rear for peanuts!!! :unibrow: :unibrow: :unibrow:

This will be the perfect candidate for the CPP Big Brake kit!

Also continued work stripping the car apart...should have all the old suspension off by tomorrow and all the old brake lines out as well. :thumbsup:

Not sure if I will be able to stab the engine and tranny in, but went a little different direction with the front timing cover area. Going to replace the "bling bling" with stock, cleaned and repainted bracketry. It will be a cleaner package in my opinion overall and will allow me to mount the turbo (should I choose to use it ;) ) a lot easier.

Pics to follow tomorrow!

:P But I need to strap the kids in the back and a roll bar would get in the way.:thumbsup:

Funny you say that...my fiancee said the same thing about kids in the back! I was like :wow: :_paranoid

But then I just told her I can make the cross bar removable if I eventually do put the cage in there. :thumbsup:

Oh boy....I did it again.

I just couldn't resist. I missed the fuel injection and overdrive and practically bulletproof bottom ends.

So I bought this today! :cheering:

Well I got just the shortblock...10 minutes from my house off Craigslist. It is in his '69 Malibu that is running 10s and driving it to the track. I sounds nasty as all get out but no matter to me, this LY6 is staying VVT delete and will be getting L92 heads (~9.6:1 compression) and this guy:

It will be backed by a 4L80e and my goal is pump gas, driven to the track, 10 sec boost passes with 18 mpg regular driving. It can be done...OH YES...it can be done!

Oh yea, Santa got lost and dropped something off at my house today as well...

Got a nice update for today...

Been selling off a lot of my stalled projects and stuff I just couldn't use anymore and am making back some money I am spending on my wedding.

This weekend I picked up the LY6 block, Edelbrock adapter plates and Energy suspension poly-mounts.

I also got a few boxes from the guys in brown...so this morning I snuck out in the garage early and got a little done:

I'll snap a few more pics tomorrow but so far I am very happy with the quality of the BMR stuff and with CPP's Big Brake Kit. With BMR I only had one thing not get shipped and was a small oversight on their part. It was in my hands within a few days. CPP I am a little angry with because they charged me shipping when they said it was free, they also told me everything was in stock when I was ordering (because I specifically asked about that...one of my reasons I bought their kit) then when my order wasn't charged in over a week I called and found the hubs were on backorder. :censored: :censored: :censored: That REALLY pissed me off and after a three week wait I finally got the brakes about 3.5 weeks after I ordered it. Not the end of the world, just hate being lied to. Regardless, I am very happy with the quality.

More to come!

Very cool. Looking good so far.:thumbsup:

Little Update...

Progress has been slow because I am planning for the wedding but also trying to continue to clean out the garage. Starting to get some of the ancillary tasks done in the mean time. Also trying to figure out how to swing buying the valvetrain and oil pump/pan. All in due time it would seem.

Anyways, today is I painted the short block I scored right near my house. LY6 with fly cuts already done. I am throwing stock L92s on her (assuming USPS ever delivers them!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: ) but nevertheless, she is looking nice!

Olds W-30 Bronze! Enjoy!
