Looks good that wheel on the front looks like the wheels Clarence has.

You said 318, you going V8?

I have an LT1 in the garage, if you can talk my son out of it.

If you need any help call Gary, he is a smart(a$$), and knows it all!! :lol:

 

Oh yea......V8 all the way on this one...I think it may be the only one in houston and the surrounding areas when its done..

How about engine swap forum or restoration forum?

 

 

BTW, I'm jealous...I'd drop a Magnum 5.9L in that, any day!

Trust me, the 318 I built that's going in it is plenty hot.

 

John, if my dad can't find the ThermoQuad, I was looking on Jeg's....just pick up another Carter AFB for it. For the price, the AFB did really well on that engine.

 

As for the paint job, I'd recommend what I did way back when on the black car. I used a couple of different products, starting with a polishing compound, and winding up with a butter wax. My black car had the luster of a new tire when I got it, and looked like new paint when I was finished.
