this only a temporary thing, to have a motor in the car while the body/paint work gets under way, and until the stroker gets built.

should be a lot of fun--freshened 4.5L short block with Euro top end, ported heads, Euro cams, etc.....:D

Very nice! Those Cam Covers sure look familiar :D

yep, probably start on transferring the Euro cams to the new cam towers and other minor things today--prep intake for powdercoating.....

Yours has certainly come a long way from what it was when you got it!

Thanks Russ! Yup, good thing it's just a project and not something I "need" to get done in a specified timeframe.
