That's killer, I wish I had that big of a budget when I built mine.

Yes,Long Water Pump.
Permastar on it and the Air gap RPM. Im not so sure the permastar is Worth the Bucks But its a done deal now!

Ive Had the Car for 8yrs, It wasnt a Matching car when I got it. Now Ive Hiway driven it 100K Mi. +, Had a few mishaps that only affected the Body. My Plan is to Get it to Top Driver 69Vette type value , engine, suspension, Body. then Try not to beat it up so much. No telling How much or how quickly our cars are Increasing in Value. Maybe the Value will increase to More than I have in,anythings possible. All I know is, Its been a real Great Vette, its Never Not started and wanted to run as hard and far as I want it to, Ill go the extra mile with the upgrading!

I always R&R the motor from the side. That way i don't even have to mess with the hood.

Nice fuel log!

Are those Holley pumps equiped with a return port?

Thanks Gkull
I dont think so..the tank is vented, and theres one line in from the tank and one out to the carb.
The Fuel line is -8AN built fittings and filter.
