Motor upgrade!

Well...I was going to just leave the 305/4V V8 that was in the '72 (my '68's temporary chassis) since I'm going to be building an LSX for the original chassis anyway. But....

A buddy of mine just bought a new crate motor for his Camaro, so I'm buying the old low mileage 383ci stroker motor that was in it. Hopefully we will be swapping my old motor out for my new motor this weekend. Should make my '68 a bit more fun to drive while the custom chassis/LSX/T56 build (which could take 1-3 years) is going on!

I guess I'll have a good running (tho it does puff on start) mid 80's 305/4V coming up for sale.
