Top pic: This is the rear axle after it was done and waiting to be put back into the car. Notice the numbers that were re-painted on like the factory, as well as the inspection marks on the back (not visible here).
Middle pic: This is the engine compartment awaiting the 383ci big block.
Bottom pic: This is the side of the engine compartment; the black tubing is part of the California Emmissions System.
Top pic: These are the original inspection marks that were painted on by the factory on the rear axle. These marks signified that the axle was ready for regular operation.
Middle pic: This is the whole rear axle, in it's finished form, showing the re-painted inspection marks.
Top pic: This is the engine as it was just removed from the engine. All accessories, hoses, and lines are still attached.
