My new (to me) 81

Has a 22r hybrid (20r head), parts, forged pistons, a big cam, and a holley 390cfm two barrel. It starts every time without any choke, so I guess it is tuned pretty well. I have ordered LROR's GM alternator kit, shocks, and a 22r badge Just need to fix the ebrake and install a new muffler and I can at least start driving it!

Engine apart

Anyone know what engine and tcase this is?

Holley

No, no; interior pics. It is terrible though, I'll worry about that when I get it mechanically sound. One thing I was thinking about yesterday was the dash pad. I wish you could order a replacement, mine has big holes in it!

Yea, one thing I wanna get is that dash replaced too. I will put a pad on it if I have to, but really....there maybe some better ones I've seen and that maybe our only option, but those dash pads I've seen just look cheesy. I'd bout soon leave it with holes in it that some furry blue rug layin on it.
