I saw a black 72-4 cuda at the nats a few years ago and loved it, so love your car too.  Thats a lot of motor, had a 499 with a 4 speed in my 70 runner, first drive in the driveway :roflsmiley:  I hit half throttle and did a 360 :rofl:  Thats gonna be a sweet ride :thumbsup:

WOW! :eek2: That looks like a very cool build up! I don't know if you said or not, but what was in her before hand? That should be a lot of fun when you're done! :burnout:

The original 340 4 speed was in the car and now resides in a corner of my garage!  It will again be installed some time in the future.  I'm getting ready to go through it this summer and freshen it up!   :2thumbs:

Here's an update.  Installed all new brake lines and touched everything up.  Installed the flywheel, torqued the heads and messed with a few other things.  Waiting for the valve covers to come back from the machine shop with the holes in them for breathers and PVC.  Hope to install soon.  Also a new picture for the garage wall and a pic of the garage.  Really like that heater since its freezing out!  More to follow . . .  :cooldancing:

Here is a pic of the heater. Probably a slight overkill for the size of the garage.   :grinyes:

Very nice update, 4C!  :2thumbs:
