    So I just bought my second Bel Air, but my first TriFive version (number 1 was a 53). I was lucky enough to find a build sheet in the glove box from when it was restored out of storage in the 90s. It's not super detailed, but it's been super helpful in knowing what has and hasn't been touched on...

    As many of you know, I am rebuilding a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air in Cuba and we are in need of the factory specs of the engine. However, the mechanics and machine shop can’t find a manual for the 1955 265 V8 engine in Spanish. So I figured that I would ask you guys for one in English. Digital is...

    Can anyone tell me if the engine main components are to be painted individually thus leaving bolts natural color, or should I paint the entire assembled engine at one time.

    Just found out that my OE block is cracked, and i need one to replace it Car was built on June 26th, heads are cast "F 19 7" or June 19th. I'd be thrilled if it was an "FC" engine code (4 bbl Powerglide) but a late May or early June Flint casting will do.

    I bought this engine to use in my '55 Two-Ten build, but I have decided to go a different direction. When I bought it I was told that it was a "fresh rebuild", but we all know that means different things to different people. So I pulled the heads and pan to see what I had. Here is what I...
