- In this long weekend episode we start off by going to a Sunday afternoon car show. The next morning I was up early cleaning a new set of wheels I got for the 95 K1500. Then found a 454 with a th400 for a deal I couldn't pass up. I'm still waiting on my performance motor to be built so in the mean time I can use the stock one for moch-up. I need to fit the exhaust, measure for a drive shaft and cut a hole in the hood for the carbs/scoop.

Nice job, Dan. I can't wait until you start it up. I thought changing the cam was going to be a lot harder. You know what you're doing, and you made it look easy. Thank for letting us hang out in your shop.
Really nice cars you got, your building an empire!
The nova sounds great , reminds me of my 70 I had in the 80 s .... 280 comp cam 🇨🇦
I like the big block in the car brings back many memories from beating the the firewall for the passenger side valve cover 500 dollars is a great price for the big block it almost where thats junk price with lots of work great score the flip nose is great the one we did was all steel nose welded together with rollers on front so nose would slide forward and flip one question though when converting a 4 door to a 2 door can you use new sheet metal on rear quarter for side window and all of metal from rear of front door rather than piece parts for quarter keep up the work its comming just fine.
Yup you can absolutely use a full quarter panel skin. They are about 1200 a side up here plus I'd still have to cut them out for the radius wheel well. So I just sectioned some pieces together
loved see you and your dad working together! you have some really cool cars!!you have earned them blood sweat and sacrifice!thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching! I really appreciate it
Love the build brother. Your giving me incentive to get on my 57 project.

Your 55 is looking great. It is nice to see an engine in it. Keep it up and I can't wait to see you get it driving soon.
Sweet!! Great to see you back at it! It's getting exciting now. 🏁
NIce! me too hha
This 55 is gonna be a monster! I love it!

Love the 55 you are doing great work with her
Thanks so much!
Ya, just throw that one in to get it running and moving. On camera those look like regular oval port heads, not peanut ports.
Great progress keep up the good work 👍🏽👍🏽💯
Thanks so much!
Hey DandD the 400 yoke has a bolt in it , just unbolt it and it will be just the same as a slip yoke.
Sweet Dude it's a great car. Can't wait to see it with the other motor.
Me either man!
Motors nice and clean inside! Somebody musta loved it! Lol!
Two lane black top 👍
You could make some hood straps with some of those dog leashes that wind themselves up.
Good day !
Moving right along now!! Keep on keeping on!
Will do!
So cool watching these old videos again you only had 2,000 subscribers
Looking great!
Looks sweet !
Snowed last Friday in Minnesota-still went fishing. Decades ago I traded a clear hood scoop like yours for a SS hood with louvers for my Nova. Kid painted it and got pulled over for obstructive vision.that same night, Wanted to trade back -sorry guy,I still have the car. I would triangulate the ends of the support bar and then cross over a bar.
Awesome thanks for the tip man
She has taken your job. Good video.
looking great I really wanted to see you start it though
Me too! hopefully soon
I would like to see a little more of when you're taking stuff apart and putting it back together it would make for a better video. Keep up the good work 👍
Will do man! thanks for the support
Love it
Can't you make some front hinge pins with handles so you don't have to take the four bolts out to remove the hood.
Time to roll
Almost!
stock low compression 454, just add a tunnel ram and 2x4s and what could go wrong
That motor is basically a mock up. Besides tunnel rams can be very streetable even on a mild motor.
@@davenobody8565 I've tried it on a near stock 350 68 Camaro and it ran better stock with a junk Quaderjet but then built the same 350 with 11.5 to 1 pistons 375 heads and Crane ss310 cam and the tunnel ram worked great
Dude , Great job you are doing with the 55. Those front wheels Look SO Good like they were made for it . and as Good as the Big Block looks with the Tunnel Ram. I would forget that Scoop . and Use Breathers or Stacks instead, Back to the Wheels dont know if you got he Same back ones . But I would paint them the Same color as the Car . Thats If it was Mine . I want to see what you do . So far Great Work. Wish I was there to Help you . Then maybe you could help me Im by myself too.
Curtis-watch "2 Lane Blacktop " then you will know why to use that scoop and the raw aluminum wheels.
Thanks man! I appreciate it, I could always use a second set of hands haha
@@billjohnson7041 Thats a Good Movie, I was around when it came out . Its still a Hit with me, Well thats the Scoop to use if thats the look you want . Dont know if you seen this One, Checkout Aloha, Bobby and Rose .its a good hotrod movie too. I do love those Raw wheels you got.nomatter what they gonna look good.
Looks cool! Is that a tall block BBC? Will the new intake fit?
Call the model Ava jigsaw puzzle
👍👍👍👏😸. Have you decided on a auto or 4spd yet?
probably run the auto for the time being
Peanuts?
Found a video of a 55 Chevy with a SLIDE OUT tilt front end. Thought you might like to check it out. Click the link below.

Not trying to insult you or anything but it sounds like a $500 big block. It sounds like a stock big block
Real nice project. Not cool with the hood scoop tho. But not a hater
