Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics

That confirms I took it off the 62/63 donor truck I had in 85 for the engine. I sold all the sheetmetal to different people and frame to a guy that had gotten hit real hard in the front and needed a new frame. I kept the engine and misc parts (I think I modified the elec wiper for the 59 too) sold the bellhousing/clutch/4 speed trans. I made more than I paid for it and got a good motor out of the deal. Only bummer was I thought it was a 327 didn't find out till I mic'd the pistions it was a 283 .030 overbored.
