Hello from Rhode Island
I have been lurking for a while, but never formally introduced myself. I have a 1971 LT1. I have the original engine, but it is not in the car. I had another 350 I already had bored and assembled so I stuck that in her. The car is a completely original car I found in a barn in Illinois 10yrs ago. I did a frame off semi rebuild. Meaning I sprayed the chassis, replaced all the body and engine mounts, brake lines, and fuel line. I want this car to be a driver, so my rebuild was more for function than appearance. I store the car in CT during the winter. I bought a lift, but when it got delivered I couldn't get my truck under it. So my lift and my car stay in CT at my parents house. Hopefully I will have her back sometime in April depending on how the weather is. It's a two hr ride to my parents so I tow the car both ways.

Everything keeps coming out upside down. I am using an iPad and only have a few pics saved on it. My avatar is my actual engine bay, but it too is upside down. Once I bring her back home or run down to my parents again I will take some pics.
I thought about showing a few upside down pics, but I know it would drive viewers nuts. I am not a tech savvy person.
