Wanted to introduce mysel a the "NFG". I've had my 1972 240 for over 8 years now. Bought it for $800 and it barely moved. I have replaced the engine (once), the trans(4X) the diff (2X) and all the suspension bushings, Illumina's, springs, bars,ets... cross drilled rotors, metal pads, Centerforce II clutch. I got my user name from a 6.125" rod 327 I was toying with. I have a 6 speed (almost in my hands!!) and a set of ported corvette L98 heads to go on a factory steel crank 355 ci small block chevy. Hopefully by the end of summer I will have the engine together and be ready for the winter to install the engine/trans combo. Car sits @ 2140lbs. with gas and oil, etc... Hopefully with 6 point cage, engine.trans, alum. radiator, ets... it will hover around 2400lbs. and 425 Hp/430 ft.lbs!! I am looking forward to hanging out on the site...Jason:stupid:
