Swapped in a 3.31 posi 12 bolt rearend under the wagon today.
Heading to the driveshaft shop tomorrow morning to get a new one the correct length made up. Some exhaust work, wire up the HEI, change the oil, and this thing should be ready to run.

Very close Ray...should be running soon.
Strange thing...removed the valve covers which are chrome to replace them with paint ones which is correct for a non-SS Chevelle big block. Heads are FRESH, aftermarket springs, studs, guide plates AND have full roller rockers. Head bolts are Manley. Makes me wonder what cam is in there...

Dropped the driveshaft off @ 9:45am...got a phone call @ 12:15pm...DONE!!!
New tube, u-joints, new TH400 yoke, balanced. Reused the original joint end caps. Pretty black paint job...now resides under the wagon. Hopefully can get into the Muffler shop sometime tomorrow to install the new downpipes. Waiting on FedEx to deliver a new alternator 6 groove pulley that's been in-route from Summit GA for three days. Got delayed in that awful shooting... ![]() Prime the engine, stab the distributor, and fire it up tomorrow AM hopefully.

Strange...my FedEx box was delivered at 9:45pm last night. Noticed it at the side door when I let the dog out this morning.
I had checked the tracking number late yesterday around dinner time...showed delayed due to "weather".

Since the shooting all their tracking is messed up ,the bodyshop said their usual deliveries are much later than usual . You got the wagon ready to go yet ?

Well...yes and no...
![]() Wagon ran for twenty minutes today...until a BRAND NEW fuel pump decided to cease doing it's intended thing. Ran just long enough to warm up, top off fluids, set timing, and adjust carb. Going out now to pick a replacement one up...of course, not in stock earlier today so had to wait for the afternoon parts delivery from the warehouse. Strange that no one around here (AZ, O'Reilly, Advance) stocks a big block OEM type fuel pump. Consequently, missed my afternoon Muffler Shop appointment. ![]() So...no Chevelle Show WITH Chevelle for me although we'll be there. Be sure to look me up John...$$
