My new 69 project

[Jay Hilliard]

Its been awhile but Im making some progress again. Here a couple of engine pics with mock up of stainless headers and dash installed

This is the ZZ427 crate engine that GM says is 480 hp and 490 tq. I dynoed it last Sat and it made 526 hp and 518 tq.
I changed the oil pan and added a very good Miledon windage tray, used the tri-y headers shown and a 1" carb spacer. Spacer added 10 hp and 9 lbs tq.

Dang rite brother that motor is stout then huh, car is looking sweeeet, glad to see you still working on it, I was talking to Dan the other day and asked if he had heard anything on your car, I told him I havent seen any post from you on here, Glad to see your picks looking really good.
Are you working on your Orange car yet?? Might have to make a trip up to see you next month and chat??

I got it from Detroit Speed.

Those headers are pretty badass, are they custom made?

Perfect choice of motor for your car...plus you get those valve covers.
