Me too, if it turns out to be a real good runner I got some more plans for that motor. Sure pulls strong right now, didn't realize how bad the old one was till I put a good one in. Next step is to replace the window felts and wipers on both doors and fix the signal light cancel in the steering column. Oh, and make a new boot for the gear shift.

the 240 in my 66 has more zip that the 300 in the 83. Different gearing , standard verses auto I guess.

Yes, we should definitely try for another Regina meet! I would be nice to have more than just the two of us, but that was good too!
