Looking great. Cool actually might be the word. Reminds me of the 53 I fixed up for my Dad to replicate the one he had when he met and married my Mom.

My daughter brought over a pair of fuzzy dice last night.

Someone asked (I think one of the Dykstra boys) to see pics of the Z/28 with the rally wheels on it.

Looks killer Lynn!!!!

----Pretty damn good looking pile if you ask me. Are you going to build a 270HP or the 245HP ? Keeping my fingers and toe's crossed that you say 270....Bill S

That's a great picture of your parents with the '53.

What TimG said.
Both pics.

Bill:
Car originally came with a PG. So, no solid lifters available. We are 100% certain it came from the factory with the 245 horse version. That's the great thing about an unmolested AZ car; easy detective work.

My very complete dual four 245 horse engine (all but air cleaner, distributor and manifolds) will be here next week or two. It is out of a Corvette, so FG instead of FD; but I have a line on an FD block. So, will likely disassemble and build it right.

IF Crane was still in business, I would have the perfect hydraulic roller to use for it. Don't know what cam is in the newly built engine I have coming. Will have to wait and see.

Open to suggestions on camshaft.

Factory specs

There are plenty of more efficient and power producing cams in the world now along with roller lifters to go back to what they had in 1957.
Knowing Lynn, he will want a little "rumpity, rump" in the cam, I know I would...:laugh:
