Gotta wear sun glasses lookin at that motor!😎

 

That “boat anchor” manifold turned out looking real nice.

 

Dropped off the starter and alternator to get rebuilt this week. Not going for a concours resto on the alternator just yet. The original one had been rebuilt once before. That shop removed all the numbers so once I find a date coded 1100704 I’ll get that one redone. Placed an order to Fusick, got the oil cap and bypass hose. Cable tube is on waiting for the starter to return. I’ll probably drop this thing in the chassis soon.

 

Engine cleaned up nicely & it looks great especially the tri carb intake.

 

The original 4 speed hasn’t been on the road since 74. Inside was decent besides the dried up dope. Everything was sticky since it hadn’t spun much in the last 50 years. Not too worried about going full concours resto on it. I sand blasted the driveshaft and replaced the u joints yesterday. Need to do some cosmetic work on it next.

 

Just about ready to install.

 

Outstanding Jasen.

 

Thank you for the help Mike.

 

No problem, glad to help.
