My last restoration was a 1959 El Camino with an original 283 in it. I wanted to put a 348 into it at some point so I started collecting 348 parts at swap meets, ebay and craigslist whenever I found a good price. On a whim I listed the El Camino on Ebay before building the 348 and someone in the UK met my reserve so I sold the car. So then I had an engine to build and no car.
Then 4 months ago I found my next vehicle project, a 1953 Anglia/Thames Panel. This is going to be a vintage 60's drag build. I had the 348 block checked/cleaned and bored 60 over. The heads I found were already rebuilt with the intake enlarged to 2.19 and 7/16 threaded rocker studs in place and ported/polished. The intake is an Offenhauser 6x2 with Holley 94's on it.
I am sure I will have questions as I go forward on this project since I have never built a 348.
