I am looking for some pictures of the engine stands on a Chevelle frame. I have a 1971 Olds Cutlass that i`m putting a Chev 350 LT1into and was told that they are the same frames. Thanks for any help.

Guy who works for the engine builder has a 69 chevelle. He has them on his 396. That is why I got them.

As if things were not going slow enough. My engine builders dyno caught the building on fire and burned half the shop down.

On the lighter side he decided I wanted a different cam. 2 degrees more @50 on the intake and centerline moved from 112 to 110. I was there he said oh there is your new cam.

I instantly went through the PIA of entering everything in desktop dyno. 30 more HP and a flatter torque curve. Moved the peak up to 6 grand.

My engine and parts were in the part that did not burn thank you. And he will finish it he said. I was there when the insurance adjusted came. Now the clean up and rebuild on the building can begin.
