I don't have pictures of all them here at work. But here are the three I do have pictures for. I will update later.

1994 Chevy K1500:

1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP:

1977 Avanti II:

Dropping a sbc in the avanti?

The Avanti came with a SBC in it. Once Studebaker went out of business and Avanti went off on their own, they all were SBC. Some 400s, some 350s, some 305s. Mine is a 350.

That's a pretty cool little project there.

That avanti is pretty cool and I must say the GP looks nice.

I like the hood on the GTP

More of the 77 Avanti

1966 Studebaker Cruiser:

Yeah, I have too many projects.

Here is dropping the engine into my truck:

In that last one you can see my dad's 1984 Avanti in the background. That is the one that he drives around town to run errands and stuff.

LOL @ the crank on the ground next to the truck.
That the stock motor in the GTP with 276K on it?

Yeah, the original engine in the truck developed a rod knock around 175k miles. So that crank was scrap anyway.

The engine is not original in the GTP. I replaced the engine at 160k in the GTP. I had replaced the LIM gasket, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, etc, and shortly after lost oil pressure while driving. Didn't have the time to mess with it so bought a 60k mile L32 and replaced it. When I had time to look into it (the engine went 2 days before our wedding), I guess I didn't torque the bolts for the oil pickup when I replaced the oil pan gasket. But the trans is all original!
