The first 3 rows are cell phone pics but the pictures below the line are a little better quality.
Holding your mouse over a thumbnail will sometimes bring up a caption explaining the picture.

More to follow as work progresses.

The engine work was supposed to be finished in 2 weeks. Sound familiar? Like "the check is in the mail". Well, 4 months later, the engine was ready to go & things moved
pretty quickly after that. Below are some pics of Mark & Matt putting things together. What you don't see are the little time-consuming details that have to be straightened
out before you can progress. Things like pushrod guide plates that don't guide properly. And clutch cross shafts that don't line up. And a clutch fork that is supposed to fit
"most GM applications" but doesn't fit a '66 Chevelle. And the learning curve required when converting to a full MSD system. And finding that "switched power source".
Etc, etc. But it finally all came together and is now running. The pics below show the final assembly. Below the pics is a quick video showing the engine starting up &
idling a bit. The video was taken when the engine had about 30 minutes running time on it - just enough to break in the cam. All in all, it sounds pretty healthy. Still a lot
of details to work on: dash wiring is a complete disaster, suspension shortcomings that need attended to, door handle buttons that like to hide inside the door, etc, etc.
But it should be on the road in a short time !!!
