I would love to get it together in time for him to drive it, but I don't know if that will happen. He wanted a 327 in it, so I built a nice mild one to go in it, along with the M20 that I built for my Camaro many years ago. I'm narrowing an Impala 12 bolt for it with 3.55 gears. The frame is finished and new floor is installed. I just have to finish my shop so I can get the car done.

----I can't tell, but I see what appears to be a crack from the corner of the valve cover to the front exhaust bolt hole. Please tell us it isn't .....Bill S
