Too much money to spend on a 305. Plus I already have 2 LT1's and a roller 350 1 piece rearmain sitting in the corner and a 1st gen 355 with flat tops and a set of world products sportsman 2's and a edelbrock RPM cam from the s10 I have a vid of on my page. Got the frame out and I'm loading 2 more vids now.

when do you plan on putting the 77 on the 94 frame?

by Roadcaptain S3 on Thu Jun 10, 2010 6:08 pm

You're making great progress with those cars. Can't wait to see the 77 mounted up.
Keep us posted as you go.

by Jim_Rockford on Thu Jun 10, 2010 6:47 pm

Well I wanted to get everything I wanted off the 94 and get it out of my face , and now that its on the trailer and ready to go to scrap I am gonna start taking everything off the 94 frame and cleaning and painting it and get new body mounts and clean and paint the underside of the 77 before i put it all back together, Its gonna be a while before Melba toast meats her new friend.

haha sounds good when i took my frame out from underneath the malibu i was going to change the body mounts too, but then i found out they were like $250 just for the bushings so i threw back on my old ones hahah
and sounds like you have your work cut out for you cant wait to see it finished!, im just curious how well the 77 is going to fit on the 94
