Manual Steering rack
New alternator and wiring.
New plugs and wires
New front brake pads
New battery tray

Plans:
Maybe upgraded front calipers from hardbody Dual Piston
SBC 350 with T-5 trans - est 300 HP - 330 TRQ
Keyless Entry and power locks maybe auto start.
Bucket Racing Seats
Sub box as armrest in center of Bucket seats
ENGINE:
Well changed engines again.. the 76 350 got sold, So I picked up a 305 5.0 L that has great HP and TRQE out of the box. I will put pics up asap of new motor and trans.
Before:
After:
Block is off to Machine shop and will need to get Crank Polished.
Block will need to be bored .30 over or more so I will be getting larger pistons keeping stock rods.
Heads will be getting machined as well
So I got irritated because I didnt want a 305 I wanted a 350 so I bought another engine and ripped it apart at my house:
Donor Engine - 1997 Silverado SBC 350 - 275 HP - 330 TRQ
Pics below:

Rotating Assembly
Cylinder walls are in need of a little work but nothing major.
I need parts cleaner:
My new Carb from Edelbrock - 1407 with mech secondaries
Got my engine done at machine shop and will be picking up hopefully at end of week - Pics to follow
Block has been honed and has new freeze plugs will get picks of polished crank and also rebuilt heads as well.
I am going with flat top pistons to increase compression from LT-1 and also using an LT-1 Cam as well.
