For the longest time I've wanted to install a 6.0 in an older car so the time finally came when I came across a really nice 54 Bel Air. It was a solid car with the old inline 6 that was needing some help bad so I got the car home and started tearing into it. First thing was to get the front end off and the old running gear out.

Gonna leave it alone for a little while then after I get it running and driving like I want I'll slowly start doing the metal work on it. It did have lake pipes but they were shot I'm planning to put some back on it though.

Looks good so far! I have a 52 Chevy Coupe that I'm doing pretty much the same thing to. So far I have installed a TCI MII front suspension (springs, not bags), 5.3 truck motor with LS1 intake manifold and accessories and I have a 10 bolt Posi rear end ready to go in.
I hope to have mine running and driving by the end of the year, but we all know how deadlines go...
Keep it up!
