Kent,     Sweet!  I hope everything goes well for you.  I've been debating getting a ZZ502 for my 55 Belair project because its a heavy car.  Just wondering if it is worth getting for its bolt-on performance or if other members found it is better to just build up a 454.  They sure seem like a great hi-performance base motor that will provide a lot of opportunities to build on (if 502 horses and 567 foot-pounds don't crack a smile ;-) ).  I think it would work well with a Tremec TKO 5-speed and a F**D 9" with Currie 3.55 gears with Mosier axles. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kent Lewis Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 1:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Date: Sat, 4 Jan 2003 14:35:39 -0600 Steve,     The car is not done yet, still building.  There are a lot of things to upgrade when changing from a lonely 307 w/"slip-n-slide" trans and a one legged 10 bolt, etc. to a 502 w/bullet proof 400 trans and a Moser 12 bolt.  Not to mention the changes to the suspension, handling, fuel system, and trying to make it look "factory" under the hood.  But, my "Honey Do list" is done.  And I have the green light to finish the Chevelle !!    Only 159 days till Chevellabration 2003.   Kent '68 Malibu ZZ502/502 :) ACES #5102         Kent,     How do you like that 502?  does it feel better than an LS-6?
