Well, it's been awhile since we did some work to Lisa's '65.

An update: The 283 which looks so beautiful in place on the chassis is now out on the ground. We had some issues with the flywheel. The starter was binding with a 168 tooth plate. I was going to pull it to try a 153 tooth plate and another starter. Meanwhile, my brother in law came to me with a deal on a fresh 350 that I couldn't refuse. So I'm going back in with that. Tomorrow I'm going to the shop to install gaskets, v/c's, manifolds, fuel pump, water pump, etc. on the new motor. Hopefully, by the end of the weekend, I can stab the engine in the truck. I decided to go with the 350 because;

1: it was a good deal, and

2: It's freshly rebuilt with zero miles and

3: the 283 was a running motor that I just cleaned, painted and resealed, not a fresh motor.

Anyhow, I'll post pics of the weekend's progress on Monday.
