Got it back to a roller waering a new coat of eastwood 2K ceramic chassis black, that stuff is a pain to spray especially for a beginner!

Roller cam roller rockers and serpentine set up to get rid of the old slinging v-belts.... Had to set it in and hear the thing run, a few wires and a radiator and the beast comes alive, Gotta say i love the sound of 3-chamber flowmasters through 3" pipe
