Looks perty darn good. My 289 is the same way, no hopped up parts in it. Shes pretty much stock but as old as I am I'm good with it the way she is...

In that case, those doors make nice "frames" for pictures. So, with a new leg, you'll be twice as fast getting your truck done? I can't keep up with you now!

For 68K it should have an LS9 superchar...Hmmm... I mean... a Boss 5.0 in it! Yes, it had better fit. Hang in there!

I'm thinking of building a "cold-air" box in the front and to the right of the radiator and then running an intake tube to it and sticking a "cone/K&N style filter in the box. That's at least 6 months from now though. Post up some pictures when you finish it.

I pulled the 289 out of my '67 Meteor Rideau 500, gonna get er all painted up and looking like new... The car was painted and stored for the past 15 years. I hated to open up the hood....but gonna look good by the spring time.

Beautiful Photo's!

Do you do photography professionally? If not you should consider it.

I worked for a company a long time ago that sent me to Hurlbert Field for 6 months and then to Cape Canaveral. Florida was fun - crazy drivers - but fun!

new engine

if you have a flat tappet or hyd lifter cams i hope that your engine builder told you to use zink additive in your oil we build about 20/30 engine a month and i cringe every time i give to a customer because of cam breakin and no zink in the start up oil.. do a search on the internet for camshaft failures,,your engine LOOKS real good and lots of luck
