WOW! I haven't seen that much Chevy orange since the early 70s!
It's coming along. Are you getting anxious to hear it run?

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Thx bd!
I got inspired by something VZ said about being "period correct"...
So yeah, I am twitterpating about hearing her run.
Bit of a way to go, but since her heart will be in place, should go much faster.

Looks good, you should get those manifolds ceramic coated before you drop it in.

Ahhhh….I have missed so much of my obsession! Looks really good J.P. And the valve covers remain to be my personal favorite valve covers that I have ever seen!

Well back on track with completing this baby.
The 383's all socked in, under carriage work complete sans electrical.
I have thought of running the wiring to the passenger side inside the hollow area behind the firewall, out of the way of the wiper mechanism.
Has anyone seen that done?

I would say drop the harness over the bellhousing if you are trying to do a wire hide but that usually makes more sense if you've gone the smoothed firewall route. Personally, I would just keep the stock setup for what you have there.

I thought about the bell housing route, unfortunately after the motor was in. Perhaps I can still make it happen without too much wrangling.
