My 1969 Chevelle Build - Lateral-g Forums

Hello to all. First time to start a thread on here. I have a 1969 chevelle that my wife bought me for a wedding gift a few years back. We picked it up and it was a factory 307 car. It had some crappy paint and a tow truck 454 block in it. From day one i started tearing it apart and then buying parts when i could afford them. Traded a gun for some nice engine parts and well this project has turned into a complete new car build. Almos every panel was replaced, every suspension part beafed up to handle the hp/tq from the new 540 bbc. wheels were ordered from rushforth and large 13" wilwoods to stop it. I went with a UMI stage 5 kit and kings shocks. Moser fabricated 9" rear end with 35 spline axels. Used a frame boxing kit from HPE Performance to help stiffen the frame. Stage 3 th400 from jakes performance transmissions. Aeromotive stealth gas tank with Fragula PTFE hoses. On the engine i decided to go with a Dart Big M Block, AFR 305 CNC heads, Mahl Pistons, Scat Crank and rods, Lemons pro touring headers, 1050 AED Carb, Victor JR intake manifold, Stainless works headers back system for exhaust and a Concept One BBC pulley kit. Thats all i can think of at the moment and ill post a few pics to speed up the process to get you to see where im at now. Thanks for reading my apologies for the pictures out of order. There were alot to choose from.

What's the problem with the painless harness. I put there muscle car harness in my 1969 Chevelle 18 plus years ago it laid out great with plenty of length all connections were soldered and shrinkwrap haven't ever had issues even use there fuel injection harness with no issues. Has there quality went down or is there a preferred and cheaper harness? Keith

So far its going smooth. Everybody that ive talked to before i started install yesterday say they are a pain to work with and adjust but so far so good.

Got the Dakota Digi's put in the cluster tonight. Waiting on the dash and dash pad to come in Friday so I can mock it all up. They were out of stock of the plain black gauges so I took a chance and ordered the carbon fiber apperence and I think I like them

Got the dash in place just temporary and I installed a set of Clayton Machine Works pedals. They look great and are made with attention to detail. I will say this however, the kit does not come with any instructions. Even though the kit did go together with only a few adjustments needed it would have been nice to have a guide with specifications on the hardware. I had to make one hole for the brake booster rod that threads into the u shaped fitting larger as it did not fit the wilwood hydroboost rod. I know that's a terrible description but just a heads up that the kit may require modification but not much. I'll try and get better pics as I go along. When I pulled the stock gas pedal bracket off a pile of sand came into the car from when I had the car lasted about 4 years ago. I'm sure I'll find sand in the car for years to come.
