Nice...did you rebuild the entire engine? What did the winter project consist of?

The winter project was to make the car more correct.

Yes, I have done most of the work. It has been my experience that these kind of projects are best done by yourself. The machine work was done at a local shop that charges $100.00 an hour, but does excellant work.

The original engine got used in a race car back in the 60's. When I put the car back together, I put in a 400 with a big cam, etc. After I figured out the vin#, I decided to make it as correct as I could. This engine is pretty correct.

It does look nice...I would be tempted to just drop in a 350 block and keep this as garage jewelry...
