I never used the NOS so i realy don't know what it brings, the engine what you see on the pics is a 383 stroker with '87 aluminium corvette heads, it died last year.
At the moment I,m busy to install a 350 ci with less horsepower.
It is almost ready to run....

NO Prob bro glad I could help

@Famstyle where the heck you been

That grille is a '75 or '76, not a '77. I bought a '77 Elco new, which I had to scrap in '09, but I'm using the grille in my '75. It's plastic, with vertical bars. The good thing is that it's light weight, where as the grille in my '74 Malibu is a heavy die cast piece. I have an extra for a '74, but it needs a re-chrome.

You mean this grille? That's a 74... scratch

Pila, that's a 74 grille. Both styles of 76 grilles look completely different & 75 had the big heavy cast iron one. Too bad you live overseas, I just found a perfect condition 77 grille for dirt cheap.

I dig the LNG conversion. I would have almost pegged it for some kind of odd cold air intake setup.

EDIT: Kyle you beat me to it again.

Yesterday i heard for the first time the new motor, it sounds great !
Just doing some details the first couples of weekends and i'm back on the road again...

by abajc3 on Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:01 am

nice! tell us some more info about the new one!

by Leike on Wed Mar 09, 2011 7:38 am

Don't know much about the specs, but what i know it's rebuild for 3 years ago and is only used for 1.5 year, it should be nearly new !
It's a 4-bolt and has a Weiand intake and Holley 750 carb, there is another camshaft in there but i don't know what specs are.
It wil be a surpice what power it has Question

by abajc3 on Wed Mar 09, 2011 10:37 am

are you going to keep the old engine or sell it? i might be interested in that stroker crank if you decide to sell it...

by Leike on Wed Mar 09, 2011 10:49 am

I'm going to keep it, i want to rebuild it in the future.

@1973 454 MONTE

The equipment you see there is one to run the engine on LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) it costs about $4,- / US-gallon and it is half the price of normal gasoline (about $ 8,- / US-gallon in the netherlands)
The fuel prices here is the reason why so many american cars run on LPG...
