    Hope everything goes in easy for you. Should be a good engine until you can get his 283 built.

    that would be fun! when i get a chance ill be heading out to my friends horse ranch and pulling a 47 chev pickup out of the brush. i went out to his place to help him with some stuff and he showed me the truck and asked if i wanted it, hes been trying to get rid of a bunch of old automobiles. i of course said yes.

    its been sitting for 8 years, it was drove there and left for the weeds to grow up around it. it has alot of surface rust and the windows are broken but thats ok. im going to pull the 350 out of his 70 camaro and his m21 manaul tranny and put it in the 47, clean up the truck, lower it to the ground, slap on some white walls tires, throw a mexican blanket on the seat, fix the glass... and shes done!!!! it will be a true rat rod!! rust and all.
