Yep, Yep, trailered the beast home yesterday, 5hrs, what an exciting day. Ain't been that excited since my wedding night, hehehe. Anyway it is still dark outside so I can't look at it. It is still on the trailer. Bought it off e-hay, what an experience. It is mine mine mine all mine. More later, Yepeeee.

I forgot about this post. It was a while ago. The "beast" is in the cave "garage" undergoing a wee bit of work. New pics this spring.

Oh yes I was up early. Spent the day cleaning out the interior and putting "the beast" in the work shop. Gonna be a winter project. Should be fun. As it was a non-matching I ran the number from the engine block. Ready.... 1966 366ci, 222hp, block from a truck. Don't know about the heads as I haven't taken off a cover. The car shows 36k on the odometer, but........., I will post some pics soon. It's a gonna be soooo fun.

later mike

Great news. I brought mine home last December, also from e-bay. I have a long way to go to get it done.

Ahh, there is the thing. You are never done. But it's a fun journey.

Did more work on the engine ID. Discovered it is a 350 block from a 76-77 vette. The smart people in the engine forum straightened me out. Still taking the interior and dash out. Just when I have time. Will post some pics when I get more time. |bouncy|
