It looks so good I thought that it was a GM promotional photo.

Now install the engine, turn the key and drive the hell out of it!

Send an audio clip once it gets running to make us SBC guys mouths water.

Sure doesn't look like a restamped block to me. Nice find.

Better check the torque on the valve cover bolts, the second from the left looks a little loose.

Looks really nice, you work fast. Seems like you just got your 69 427 last year.

Looks very good. However, where did you get that fuel pump? It's not correct, at all, for your application.

Wow! Look at the giant crossed flag logo underneath the engine

That's a funny one Rob!

Hope the NCRS judges have there microscopes with them, Terry LOL

I had to look at it a couple of times to figure out what was going on.

Re: That's a funny one Rob!

I'm still in doubt if I should mount one of these two into this one...

HAHAHA!!!

Re: That's a funny one Rob!

Wonder what Joe thinks about that fuel pump. I think you need to send me a closer picture of the bolt head markings so I can give further comment. Also, the big block spark plug wire grounding straps should be two straps for one valve cover bolt. You should change that before you have it judged. Careful working on it though because I am sure those plastic bolts are easy to break off. Make sure you put atleast 1.5 millileters of oil in it be for you crank it. Get your tweezers out and pull the distributor and prime it real well with a micro primer and a miniture drill. LOL, Terry

Nice plastic models........I was just in Italy for a month and went to a classic car show in Trento......of the 200 or so cars that attended....not one Corvette....very disappointing......
