77TA Resto Reboot - a long journey to an LS swap

[stros]

Have you had a chance to calculate your mileage?

I haven’t paid much attention to the MPGs.  I’ll track it next time I fill it up.  I have 3500 miles on the LS3 now.

Is your rear bumper cover still the rubber type? I noticed the 499735 strip installed. My 78 bumper cover was close to immaculate but had slight ripples or waves between each hole where riveted. So I've also sourced a couple of the strips to clamp it all down. Not original, don't care. The jacking brackets often had me thinking too. Originality aside, not going to ever use them and they are a tad clumsy otherwise. Could just as easily unbolt, leave off and panel over the cutouts if respraying covers. I'm sure others have done it but not really noticed. And cheaper to do nothing.

It’s the original urethane bumper that I had a shop near me repair.   The fiberglass ones I could never get to fit.
