Brad Conley Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Never did understand the allure of installing a chevy in anything but a chevy. They were cheap motors for a reason. And a 1977 "Corvette 350" does not exactly excite me in the least. If anything, a detriment. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemon Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 It could have at least been a Buick 350. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are EVERYWHERE. Many speed/power parts. And they will fit where others will not. Me? Buick only unless one could not be found. Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 I try to keep brands together. Chevy small block is arguably the cheapest, easiest thing to use anywhere, but *yawns* boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So, must have an open driveline.? I wonder where that came from? Sounds like he really wanted a '59 - '60 Impala... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Not my cup of coffee, however, if one had a 455 laying around it sounds like an easy swap now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemon Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 John, there's a Buick 455 on the Seattle Craigslist right now for $500, we can make this happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
