Alex, not sure if they have a convertible, but there is an old lot in
Campbellsville about 1 or 2 blocks off Main Street that had at least 5 or 6
'57s just sitting there.

My local resto shop is looking for a buildable 57 Chev convertible. Anybody
know of one that can be had? Thanks.

Guys (and gals),
My machine shop now has my block, crank and heads to do their thing. I
hope to have it all back within 2 weeks. They spec'ed out the following
components for me:
TRW-L2242F30 SPEED-PRO POWER FORGED PISTONS
MOLLY RINGS _ CANT READ P/N
COMP CAMS CCA-11-430-8 MAGNUM RETRO-FIT HYD. ROLLER CAMSHAFT .566
LIFT/280
DURATION
COMP CAMS CCA-1320-16 PRO MAGNUM ROLLER ROCKERS
COMP CAMS CCA-854-16 HIGH ENERGY HYDROLIC ROLLER LIFTERS
COMP CAMS CCA-924-16 VALVE SPRINGS - DUAL
COMP CAMS CCA-7110 BILLET TIMING SET - DOUBLE ROLLER
COMP CAMS CCA-7934-16 HI-TECH 3/8 IN PUSHRODS
All ARP head bolts, rocker studs and main studs, Felpro gaskets, etc.
They CC'ed my heads, and they came in at 111cc's. With the pistons
above,
I'm looking at roughly 10.5:1 comp. ratio.
Block is getting bored 30 over, align bore checked, my L78 rectangular
port heads are getting the complete workover, rods getting resized,
everything balanced.
I went to Summit to compare pricing, and I was surprised that the prices
I
was quoted from these guys are the same or lower than Summit pricing. I
figured a local shop would charge more...
I still need to decide on an intake and carb.
As I have been out of muscle car building since the late '70's, I
welcome
your comments.
Larry
