Sorry for the slow updates, time has been tight... Nevertheless, the new rear end is sandblasted and painted. I also started the tear down of the car. The old Blue Flame 216 is out and the "economizer" torque tube rear end is out. Next is to pull the interior, body and everything off the frame. As for the 270 Jimmy, it's stalled at the engine builders waiting for molds to be taken of the cylinder head so pistons can be made. Apparently there was a huge order of racing motors for a race on March 1st that needed to be finished, so mine got kicked to the curb. Anyhow, I've got plenty of other things to do...

Thanks!

P.S. What is the nic-name of the 270 GMC's? (216 Chevy=Blue Flame 6, 270 GMC = ?)
