sweet! id love to go for a cruise in the old girl!
i live about 300 meters from exibition park, which is good!
if you wouldnt mind, id like it if you came around one day and checked out my 400, and see how its coming along.
its got fully balanced, crank, rods, and pistons, bored 40 tho, flat tops, polished oil gully, tappered holes, edelbrock manifold, yadda yadda yadda, so im hoping when its all together it should make some decent power, all i need to buy to finish it is a gasket kit and a camshaft and valve springs.
ps, what your number pink bits? i will be cruising around in my yellow s pack falcon so it would be good to catch up.
