Looking forward to future posts, winter is coming so you'll have plenty of indoor time to work on the 49 I have a choke-less 750 Demon on my 355 it's an older model that runs good. The only issue I have she stinks when warming up, I may look into an EFI unit in the future....again man thumbs up!
I just bought a 49 styleline and I'm doing the same sort of build as you. I have a set of FREE front and rear bumpers that I don't need if you are interested. They need to be sanded and re-chromed. I'm not sure how I'd get them to you
So the guy I bought it from said it was out of an s10 but I ran the numbers off the case and it’s actually a Camaro or firebird diff mid to late 70’s 8.5. He had it bolted up to the stock 49 rear leaf springs didn’t have to change too much. I’m installing a 3- link so I’ll be stripping the tubes and welding new brackets on I’m still using this rear differential though.
