Great looking car! Converting a ‘73 or ‘74 Car is probably the best way to get a great -6 and it looks like you did it right.

I spent an hour this morning torquing the heads/install 4,5,6 .. Installed the cam plugs(thanks Mark) and now just a few other things to tidy up as I wait for the rockers to be done.. I need to get back to grinding/some welding so that I can get this in primer..

Dang it, that's pretty, Ben.
Every time I see a 6 being built, I question my decision to go with the LS... Ah well, there's always the next project! Keep up the great work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

 Thanks Chris.. I also have notes written on the case as to order of pistons install and then actual cylinder locations and checks for install of circlips. This was done based off of when I have time and when I have to walk away to work on something else/family etc. I don't typically spend more than an hour at a time working on it and its hard to remember if you don't have notes.. |

I’d need to have a torque marker to remind me where I stopped. It’s looking great!

So a little update but no pictures as of right now.
Restored the rear konis I recieved from michael. Put the powdercoated springs on I got from greg Shocks are complete with replated and repainted everything Put the engine in the corner on a different engine stand until I am ready for it.. Welded in patch right by the roll bar above door handle pocket on driver side Ground all the flare welds down and started hammering out with hammer and dolly. Heated a few areas that were not coming along. Made reinforcement for rear suspension pick up ears Now second guessing my rear trunk panel may have to buy a new one after the holidays are done.. Reassembly of replated and powdercoated seat rails.. Took apart the steering rack , cleaned, inspected and ceramic painted. Will reassemble this week with fresh grease Cleaned the shop.. So making progress |

Just curious, did you rebuild the Konis when you restored them? I have a set dated 8/70 that I don't want to do anything to until I know the original style decal is still available. I haven't been able to find it anywhere, and I don't want to send these in for a rebuild if the label would be replaced with a newer one. These were made in Holland.

Carbone will replicate those for you if you can give them a good example of image and size.
