Sorry. I haven't been on the forum in a long time. Glad to see it finally made it to you! Really looking forward to seeing what you do with it. It's interesting that Germany won't allow you to register it as it appears.
Very cool! I want to do this to my wagon as well but prefer an in tank pump. Don't know what system I will end up going with when I do.
On my wife's 71 Chevelle we went with Fast EZ EFI and used the kit supplied frame mounted pump. We had cavitation issues and it was so noisy that we scrapped...
Yes this is a bad idea. At one time I was going to put in 4 amps totaling 1600W in mine. The factory 65amp alt could not handle 4 amplifiers pulling 150amps at full draw. Add 2 more batteries and 4 capacitors to buffer the load on the factory electrical system but it still needs to charge those...
I had grabbed a parts car for mine and the body is a little beat but the parts I need are on it. I took all the moldings off and have many others I have gathered over the years. So many that I have a cheat sheet written down of what is in great shape and what is repairable and what needs to be...

I have been were you are now. My 440 had 906 heads with 2.14 and 1.88 stainless valves, hardened seats and bronze guides. They were built back in 96 on my fresh 440 at the time. I was using the HP manifolds as well. Fast forward to 2011 and my heads developed the same cracks that yours have...
If you are seeing a lot of particles in the fluid, it is time for a rebuild. If you flush you are removing the floating friction material. You flush it now and it will be worse.
Yes, That is my 71 Sport Suburban (looks like a 70) in the Avatar. It is the same one and is in primer (originally Sand Pebble Beige but was painted green by my dad). Progress is very slow as it is down and I have been slowly building a 512 stroker for it. Short block is now done but took me...
