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.

 

 

Patiently waiting on the headers to get here. M21 bolted up, fluids in and the driveshaft is installed. Probably will have to remove it to lift the block up for header install. The black on the side of the trans is blackout. Which was present on this trans. It’s actually still present. I just fogged over it to fill in the bare spots.

 

Your spectacular work continues to motivate me to keep pushing along with my 65 442 convertible - thanks for posting detailed pictures also, a priceless resource! Look forward to seeing your continued work.

 

Will you have this at Homecoming so I can drive it?

 

You’re getting too far ahead! Slow down

 

😄. Sway bars on the front and rear. Headers get here today. And I have a cool update coming on the shocks.

 

You only get hugs from me at Homecoming

 

^x2

Looking good, nice work you are doing there.
So quick question, where did you source your body mount bushings, all of the ones I have found don't seem to look correct?
Thanks
Again, great work.

 

Fusick. Only place that sells the correct ones. And you still have to modify one of them. Their 68-72 kit is the one you want.

 

I got them ordered.
Thanks
