    Dan; yes, we do have a great group of people down here. Makes building these cars much easier. Great friends!
    Jamie; I am going to have the same man that installed the trans conversion for me put the engine in. I don't have the facilities or the time to do it right, and he has the knowledge and facility to do a great job. Also, Frank is there to help if I need to get anything.

    Nice looking motor, what heads came on it that year?

    Hope you get as much pleasure out of it as I am getting out of mine :thumbs2: (even though I haven't even driven mine out of the driveway yet...:D)

    clean long block,nice !!!! those exaust manifolds look good too !!!! probably better flowing than the oem manifolds on my 63 fairlane500 sports coupe and they resemble the old hi-po k-code manifolds.
