Exclamation I'm excited!!!

I got out of class and went straight to my dad's...and guess what was in the garage!!!



Yep. I got straight in to looking at it. I want to put it on so bad, but have a couple other things that I have to do before I'm ready for it. One being fix the stupid tranny/torque converter problem.

Here are some pics of it once I ripped her open. She's a 302 rebuilt from 1969. Has 330 hp, and is begging to be used.

Couple other things...fixing the tranny issue. I might just go ahead and put it on without the tranny 'cause I want a pic of it on the frame and with the all the add ons bolted onto it. I also was in the process of painting a few other things, one being the rearend. I plan on bolting that back on first thing tomorrow so the frame will at least be sitting on 4 wheels and sturdy.
