Seeing that setup, reminds me when I built my first tunnel ram on top of a 454, had in a 71 shortbox pickup, building all the linkages, the steel fuelines, rebuilding a stock points distributer, took alot of time for sure, I was picky on looks back then, lol Had it all running idling with no issues, then came the book on the front cover of lmc truck parts, was the exact same pickup I was building, same color, wheels everything, I was pissed off.... Tore it all apart, sold the motor, the truck is still inside where I left it 20 years ago, Still good memories thou!!!

Finding some of the older videos and enjoying. Was hoping that you would finish the 57 all the way so it doesn;t rear its head at you as a happy wife is a happy life. You have chevy down, Could you of side rodded with me on my old 76 high boy with a true 427 cobra jet and turbo on either exhaust. It would walk down the track on the wheelie bars and tearing metal off. Its gone now cause I can't work anymore since I got crippled. So I sold it for twenty five... just about broke even. You would of had spots in your shorts over that engine with the cage main mounts to hold the bottom together... about 800 HP as close as I could figure with all the head work and the cams... yeah dual overhead cams and they are a bitch to adjust. If I had put the supercharger back on ... well I scattered parts just too many times to do it over again

Good job at starting it up,I know you like look of the tunnel ram but over kill on a stock big block it would prob be a lot faster with a single carb at least I would think so I’d be more for the performance than looks I could see if you had a big cam and some roller rockers you know what I mean but it did run pretty good good fr you well done you set it up right obviously It started pretty easy well done again and have a good Xmas and a happy new year I’ve been whatching your videos backwards already seen you driving it you should try to find a strait axel for the real gasser look or whatever you call it
