Looking for a 400 chev. Doesn't have to be a runner but rebuildable. A short motor is okay. A standard bore would be preferable but will check out any. Preferably in southeast queensland. Anybody know of one or have an old smoker lying around?
Regards

Shayne & I live close so you better get inline early.
I remember the power of the Small block 400 I had in my HQ Coupe. I reacon the Power to weight ratio will be awsome. I still get goose bumps when I think back to sinking the boot and feeling the power sink me further into the seat.
I also remember the time the throttle cable stuck open when I layed the slipper into it around the corner. The wheels spun for about 100 metres, my friends thought it looked like a well controlled burnout. Me on the other hand I cutting washers and laying my own skid marks.
A mild cam double hump fuellie heads and plenty of fuel to power.
I think my days of V8's is over, not through choice though.
Cheers Jim

Its not for the wagon unfortunately. I have a 283 sitting on the shed floor that will go into it someday.
The 400 is for the next project currently underway. 35 chev roadster. I figure 400sb, 40 thou over, set of Dart heads, bit of a bump stick, nice set of tuned straws, powerglide auto. Original set of rails with a glass body on it. Power to weight should be rather interesting. I figure it should be a bit of a fun machine.
Still interested in a ride??

Harko,
I'm going for a roadster body. Less expense involved and of course, the open car, the open road sort of thing. There is a mob building glass bodies in Rocky and Gary Wrench was building them down in Victoria. Australian Kit Car are also doing Chev glass bodies. I think Bods by Elvis are only Ford gear. I like the chevs because there aren't as many about.
There are always rumours about problems with different manufacturers, but I plan to check them out before buying. Plenty to do before then though.
