Looks wicked .

You will be happy you didn't pick a big block since your gas is over $2.00 a litre .

Thanks guys,It all didn't go with out a hitch, we had a small wire earth problem which ended up on a power terminal!! blowing a HEI module...long weekend had to wait a couple of days.
On start up found the vacuum advance was stuffed so had to pick up one of those,otherwise it all went pretty good and the engine feels really strong
You're right Sug fuel at $2.50 a litre it hurts big time...but its all about smiles per mile
