Good luck with that, looking forward to hearing and seeing the progress.

Today I got the engine tore down completely and all the internals appeared to be in really good shape. I got the block and tranny pressure washed so I could at least handle them now.

I should be ordering the front core support and fenders later this week.

It's time to start deciding exactly how I am going to build this engine.

I'll probably start pulling out the dash and interior this upcoming weekend.

Thanks!

A Lysholm supercharger is already part of the plan.
