Freshening up Dad's Satellite

Made some progress. Engine and transmission are out. Engine is off to the dyno this weekend for some tuning and testing. Engine bay is going to take some serious cleaning. Any tips in that regard are welcome! Transmission in the background will be off for a rebuild shortly. Shocks and new sway bar bushings to go in and then hopefully back together once the weather warms up a bit.

Did you happen to notice the date code on the engine? Only reason I mention is because this is a one of none 67 belvedere. All 67s absolutely had an LA 318. Whomever "hastily" assembled the car must have placed a poly in place of the LA. I have a 67 belvedere as well, and it had an LA. Not a big deal and quite impressive what you have done to it.
Have you ever thought of changing it back to an LA 318?
