 New Guy
Hello my name is Mike and I live in Memphis. I purchased a 72 SWB about 3 months ago. It came from the factory with a 307 and 3 on the tree. It now has a 454 with TH400. We have in the last couple weeks pull the 292 cam out and installed new cam bearings, a comp XE268 cam, lifters, valve springs and Magnum roller timing set. It has headers and 3 inch flowmaster exhaust system. Edelbrock performer RPM intake and Carburetor. With the rest of the truck stripped down and getting it ready to paint. I also have a 70 Chevelle but have back-off doing anything to it here lately, because of the truck.
Mike

 Re: New Guy
These are pictures taken the first day after purchasing the truck. I had just polished the aluminum wheels to brighten them up some. http://s514.photobucket.com/albums/t346 ... %20BEFORE/
