jay bernard garage shots

Jay Bernard sent in a story about his recent “build” After 41 years of use on the 396/ 350 engine and not being the original engine (original lost at 9 months old) I made the decision to repower using a GM Performance Crate instead of a rebuild, but stay with my engine scheme of many years. A chromed, polished engine, but with original parts used on most all things and returned to the stock location. In most cases to give it the layout of a factory engine just all blinged out. This El Camino has been with me for 22 years now and is just a part of me. Look Here
