While I had the oil pump off, I massaged the passages a little bit to improve flow and shimmed the spring. I figured since I improved flow and bumped up the pressure a little, I thought it would be a good idea to replace the barbell. I picked one up from SacCityCorvette.com.

I definitely love all the room in the engine compartment of these classics! I was able to reach all but the bottom two transmission bolts from the top! It’s great!

And…. Slowly getting the motor back together. I picked up a set of 243 heads and massaged them a little bit. They probably didn’t need it since I’m not racing anymore, but I enjoy doing the work and I’m sure it won’t hurt it. I upgraded the rocker arm trunnions and installed them along with new springs. I also had to order a set of 7.425 pushrods to get the right lifter preload. I topped it all off with an LS6 intake.

Found this spot on the radiator, so I’ll be taking by a shop sometime next week hopefully to get it checked and repaired if needed. Always something…

More to come as I get things completed.

I remember this car from years ago. It’s cool to see you making the changes you are.

The small Sharpe Performance firewall plug is very nice and perfect for the engine harness. I choose to run my trans harness through the trans tunnel as it layed out perfectly.

The guys at Street Machinery mounted there Terminator under the passenger seat for easy service and it well looks awesome. They also ran the harness through the firewall very low and it comes up to the motor for a very clean look on the firewall.

What every you do don’t follow them on Facebook as they will overwhelm you brain with really cool ideas.

Where have you seen it? It has been around for a while. It lived in NC for a bit, I believe.

Thank you for the info! That install looks supper clean! I like it. Do you know what they used to pass the harness through the floor? It looks like a nice transition for it.

I’m getting ready to start installing the Vintage Air and finding a good home for the Holley Terminator X Max.

First order of business will be getting the ginormous bench seat out. I will them pull out the carpet so I can put some sound deadening material in, and Yes, I will be cutting the drop bars on the cage. As you can see, they are a hinderance for getting in and out. I am not getting any younger and I would also like to make it easier for my kids to get into the back.

The NOS floormats are up for grabs. Who wants them? I do need a MAP sensor for and LS6 manifold. Just sayin’. Shoot me a PM if anyone wants the mats.

I have pictures of it somewhere on my computer.

If it was in North Carolina I may have seen it at a car show many years ago.
