Dropped off some parts to get blasted including:

Straight to big block! I was only going to install the 350 to break it in and give a customer a test drive but I didn't need to after all. The 350 has a new home in a '69 Camaro from Alameda CA. Hopefully sell more things later today to keep this party going.

Update:
Some before after photos.
I lost a photo of the rust on the inside of the valve covers.
If this drop base doesn't work out, I think an L88 drop base should clear the stock hood.
Almost done getting the '72 4781 carb gone through, before after coming soon.

Update:

Watched Two Lane Blacktop for the first time in my life.
The carb is ready to go.
Also found some unused Hedman Hedders locally very cheap on offerup.
I dropped them off to get high temp coated white.
School is officially out so hopefully get more time to finish welding up the trans tunnel and the other tub.
Storage is getting cluttered again, can't wait to get all these parts on the car.
Two Lane Blacktop is definitely inspiring my build. More Pics soon.

Congrats on the build, looks fun.

What are they charging you for the header coating if you don't mind me asking?

I will let you know this week. I know it's cheaper since I'm paying cash.
