They ran off the front of the cam behind the water pump. Water pump would leak and destroy the electronics.
Sounds like they're trying to make it sound better than it is. This doesn't seem like a top notch restomod, also not enough info. Just a few things, Gas tank seems hoakie, as well as the exhaust and clamp on tips. 
It may be a little better than it seems, needs to be gone over by an expert, seems more like a non expert home build.
Oh shit, one of those engines, people would pressure wash their engines and they wouldn't start or drive through a big puddle and the engine would shut off. They used them in the Corvettes and Z28's, great performance but...
Is this a numbers matching car?
That is the one. I just sold the one I had because I decided I didn't want to deal with it in the wifes 54 Willys. It looked would have looked good though
No wiring pic. Im in NC the car is in Maine.
Yea but, on that 57 and the Buick Raodmaster with the LT1, it was a 10 minute job to replace parts. Not like a Y model Vette that took half a day to do it.
Does that look like 2 1/4 inch exhaust going into 3 inch pipe up by the transmission pan in the third picture on post seven? Maybe it’s an optical illusion I am looking on my phone. Seems to be some bizarre stuff going on if it’s supposed to be a top shelf build.Who writes a description like that?
So what is the asking price?
… You nailed it… That is not an optical illusion on the exhaust tubing issue …I would not call this a first quality build… but at $37,000 and it fits… Mr Buddy's…the OP’s taste… Why not???
…
… Think it’s gonna cost you a lot more than $37,000 for a real real deal 57 Chevy???…Fine
37
I don’t know. It’s listed at 37. I know how to get values on new boats that I sell but not classics. I’m helping my dad get this, he’s been buying and selling classics for ever, but the last few he’s taken some hits on them$ because he isn’t as aware as he once was.
Same same! Same year, same car, same price. It was my first car.
If the body and fit pan out, $37K seems like a good deal for that. But then again, if it appears to be too good of a deal, beware. I now of a ’55 chevy 2dr hardtop with a crate ZZ350. Can’t remember the transmission, but probably a Turbo 350 with that motor? Body and paint was $70K. Chassis, suspension, wheels, tires, shocks and motor and assembly were in the neighborhood of $50K. Said he has receipts for everything. Estimate for interior was $40K. All work was professionally done. He wants $90k and has not found a buyer. as of about 3 months ago. Damn if I know what theses things are worth.
M mine started metallic green ended up Root beer brown with a 301 and a three speed I must’ve destroyed a minimum of a half a dozen of those transmissions down town street racing, awesome street rod back in the day
After half ass blowing up another picture, I’ve come to the conclusion they might be resonators.

… About 20 years ago there was a couple of different aftermarket, hot rod, muffler manufacturers, and one of them manufactured shorties like that… can’t remember the name of either manufacturer???..,After half ass blowing up another picture, I’ve come to the conclusion they might be resonators.

… Curiosity got the best of me… I had to look it up… The two manufacturers were Magnaflo and Flowmaster.., I always liked the sound of that Magnaflow better… And it looks like what is on that 57 may be Magnaflos???
… I got it all wrong…In looking online at modern day resonators… that may very well be resonators up by the transmission… Back in the day resonators were behind the mufflers and behind the rear axle.., and they were the same shape as what appears to be Magnaflo mufflers on this car
… dumb ass me… well then there is the fact of being half blind

I was thinking, “cherry bombs” or “purple horny‘s” off the top of my head what I could think of.
… in looking at that last endorsement of the car. It looks like the mufflers are Flowmaster…. Shows you what I know… Not much.???… when I was horse ranching in Oklahoma you could definitely tell the difference of a car out of the farm/ ranch lands… whether it out flowmasters, or magnaflows… the diesel boys just took their mufflers offI was thinking, “cherry bombs” or “purple horny‘s” off the top of my head what I could think of.
