Ahhh K 351 isn't a big block or an fe at all. It'd have been a Cleveland. The big blocks I think we're all limas, Fe's and I can't remember the 427/428.

I thought maybe they'd fitted a galaxy motor to it. We had a fair few of them around back in the day and most had 390's. Honestly pending the work I'd probably take a 51 Cleveland over a lot of not ridiculously worked big blocks.

They were the small block that could and the heads flowed crazily lol.

I’ve been contemplating getting the black window moulding kit for the SS again.
I think it would look more aggressive than the chrome it’s been something I was going to do when I first got it actually but also fear that the standard ones will be damaged during removal making it a no going back change, unless I buy a set of chrome ones too obviously.
So, has anyone actually removed and reused them before?

When I did mine they came out pretty cleanly, mine were black though.
Lots of tape on the panels & wiggling with the nylon trim removal tool.
Rears were most difficult on the wagon for some reason.

Couldn’t help myself when I saw these advertised, pretty decent quality actually and way better than I was expecting.
