Engine block is from the 1966 GTO kit. The blower, manifold, carbs and blower drivers came from the 1964 GTO kit. The chrome oil pan and the headers are from the Revell 1968 Firebird kit.

You have to cut a notch to make the transmission fit to the 57 Chevy chassis.

I finished the engine tonight. It's wired along with the starter and hoses. I only put one header on for the time being incase it doesn't fit properly into the 57 chassis.

As per the Auto Scale article I am following I had to extend the rear chassis pan in the front and back so it will fit the GTO body.

Thanks everyone, some of this build has proved a bit challenging with my current skill set but I enjoy trying new things to improve my skills.

You have good looking build going. Like all the details. engine looks really good and the interior. I like your dash and the little touch with the tach wiring and hose clamp on the column.
