Is that a Prius you have that 454 block in the back of? If so - how ironic.

Tom,
The engine sounds great in the video.
Your dash sort of looks like mine, see pic.

Looks great and sounds great. I bet it is very fast in that light weight 56.

Thanks GW. Unit was built back in the 60's by previous owner and his friend. Still sortin' it out. No extra MC, have had a bunch of them in the past, but they're harder to find now than socks on a rooster.

A 327/300 with Powerglide in my '66.




The valve covers are a later addition that I thought were

REX,
It looks like you have a few "leave out bolts" in the hood gutter...

Yes, that is my Prius. That's how I got it home.
I sent my son the picture and told him he's gonna love the Prius with the blower sticking out the back window.

My '67 looks very similar to chrisdev's '66 - a base engine 300HP. I switch valve covers depending on my mood.

I had a L79 in my 67.
No muss , no fuss, just keep driving it.
Great engine.
I have the 151 cam (L79) in my 57 Fi car and in my current Gasser project. I have a solid lifter cam in my 340 HP 62 and the maintenence is minimum and the engine sound is great.

For my Corvettes, I like them like GM built them.






But for my most recent project, I went for a little bling.
