Hey Pete...I do have an engine shot...somewhere...neat DANA sticker on the valve covers...I'll have to look and see if I can find it.
I'm sure someone (HEY JD!)has a coiuple of engine pics that they could post.
Your story about the boneyards made me remeber when in about 1982...I went to the Ecology Auto Wreckers in SoCal. I was looking for Big Block stuff...and noticed an Impala with the telltale four holes in the front of the fender...I knew it was a big block, so I went up to it for a closer look. It ended up being a 427/4 speed car. My friend and I ended up getting the center console (and harness), the dash (and wiring) and an overhead console(which had map lights?) and the harness for that. The overhead console matched the styling of the center console...so I think is was factory installed. All this stuff is buried in some boxes SOMEWHERE in storage. I think I also have some gauges that went into a big block Impala, too!
The best part was that Ecology charged me ~$20.00 for all of the parts...
Yep, those were the days.
