A guy told me about this board and said I needed to check it out--Best advice I've gotten in a long while!
Also said I should be sure to introduce myself before I start just posting stuff, and since there's a guy with a Buick 322 flywheel and bellhousing who wants to trade for a unique SBC intake, and I've got a unique SBC intake...
Name's Brad Ocock. Friends call me Miles.
My closest project to Roadworthy is a '57 Chevy 150 2dr station wagon. John Deere Blitz Black, 14x4 Toque Thrusts/Black steelies with white wall pie crusts, fiberglass fenders, 'glass lift-off hood, glass doors, white fenderwells, no front bumper, no inner fenders, radio/heater/clock delete, cool drilled slapper bars,
and unfortunatly a SBC backed by a 4-speed. Didn't want the SBC, but couldn't pass it on the price.
The goal is to build a '57 Chevy for $5,700, and it looks like I'm gonna make it!
Also have a '54 Buick Special that was my daily driver for a year and a half before the manual trans died. Pulled the engine to get at the clutch, discovered the problem, and two years later it's still in the garage because crap snowballs. Plans are for a '56 322, Weiand 2x4 or 3x2, chrome valve covers, 1.6 aluminum 401 rockers and a bunch of other stuff nobody should bother doing with a 322. The long plan is for it to be a Kustom, but the last week I thought about re-ringing the 264, putting in the spare trans, sanding it and Fla-Bla priming it, white pinstripes and driving it until I can do it the way I want.
Finally, have a '56 Chevy 150 2dr Sedan that is so far on the back burner it may never see the road other than on my trailer, but it was my first project car, led to my job and wife, so it's family.
So that's me. Love the board, will be here a lot, and I'm going to write to a guy about a bellhousing now.
