After waterblasting my 69 Camaro front subframe, I noticed how bad the welds were with lots of spatter. I think the welder must have been new or mad that day. Does anyone else have welds that look this bad? Is this typical? Check it out.

I worked at the old Jeep plant till it was shut down in '01. Those folks in the frame weld booth was making more smoke than just weld smoke. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif
The welds were not any better in '01 than what they were in 1969.

Now it's all done by robots.

The NOS L-78 Cam I purchased about a year ago from a member of this site. The cam is currently unavailable from GM but is still stocked by Crane and Comp Cams. Forged 11:1 Pistons and dimple rods came with the motor, the crank is a factory forged steel 6223 Nitrided GM crankshaft that was purchased through Ebay.

Coming next will be the like new 842 L-89 Aluminum Heads, oil pump, pan, and manifold, etc.

Stay Tuned.
