Greetings, new member here

Hey everyone! Recently purchased a '61 Olds 98. Happy to be here!
Also just purchased a new 6.0 liter Pontiac GTO LS 2 engine for it with 2 (that's TWO) miles on it ! (Not rebuilt)

Thanks,
The Olds is where I found it in a friends yard, it's safely tucked in a heated garage now.
Also have a '57 Bel Air 2 door HT as well. The Olds will be my new daily driver (except in Winter! )

Will do. Might be a while as I am finishing up my '57 Chev. In addition to the LS, will be adding a Ford 9". The GTO engine is complete with trans, all components and ECU. I paid 7K for it, the GTO fell off the transport truck in '09, and paperwork was tied up for a few years before it was available for sale.
I also paid 7K for the car. I think I did good!
