Sick. Are those single cams on each head?

Chevy motors of this type are single cam with push rods.

Thanks guys. Having a hell of a time getting it put back in. I am currently attempting to put motor trans and subframe all in at one time and I just can't get it to line up. I am going to try to loosen the motor mount bolts tonight and then lift the subframe into place and then fully bolt the motor down. Hopefully I have a pic tomorrow of it installed

Finally got the engine in! Now to button everything up and let the bald eagles out

[TeXJ]

Oh that's awesome! gonna start it up with just the headers? haha

Gotta hear a video clip of that beast installed!

On the home stretch. I adapted my current exhaust to work with the sikky headers. The welds are rough I know. I am no professional welders and I had to bridge quite a few gaps but I am pretty pleased overall. Finishing up the final welds tonight. I ran out of wire last night.

First Start Up!

congrats!

Thanks! Looking forward to the first drive. The sound at the end is what I imagine the exhaust will truly sound like which I am pretty pleased about

Euro Grills installed and it is officially ready for a test drive. Can't wait to see what it makes on the rollers.

Bald eagle powaaaaa!

I'm jealous. The to-do list on my swap never seems to get shorter...
