Saturday afternoon, I took my 63 down the road for it's first time as the home of a 348 "W" motor. (Not a big block - see I pay attention.
Anyway, its just got a 4GC on a cast iron intake hooked up to a Saginaw 4 speed with the 3:73 rear end left over from the overdrive 6 cyl.
It's just a collection of low buck parts, but for me it was like driving a new one off the showroom floor. I still have to get a windshield installed, put the interior in and paint it, but man this 61 year old feels like a kid again. It's been 16 months to get it this far, had to cut out and weld in all new floor metal, gas tank, wheel bearings, brakes, drums, wheels & tires, radiator, you know the drill.
I thank all of you for your contributions and hope you are all as happy with your cars as I am with mine.
Attached is a pic from day one. More pics soon.
