Not much has really happened with it. Collecting vintage parts has been the focus lately. Trying to get my 69 L72 Biscayne finished 1st.... More pictures will follow shortly.

The engine is getting ready to come out of the machine shop. Just waiting on the 660's to arrive so we can dyno it. 468 with 12:5.1 old school Manley domed racing pistons, Comp Nostalgia ZL1 solid lifter cam turned on a Billet 4/7 swap core, 074 Heads 2.30 intakes, Jomar Stud Girdles, etc, etc.

Seems those Jomar girdles fit the old aluminum heads best. Looking real good man!
