Pics of rebuilding an engine are always very cool! Especially when it's this wicked! 8)

Good luck installing it.

[caesar]

Is there a bed in tht back?


If so how does that work please?


I'm putting a new interior in my 68 and want a bed but still want to keep my walkthrough.

Other than going Rock and roll, is there any better way?

Cheers

looks sweet, post a dyno if you can...

and if you dont mind me asking what was the total outlay on your rebuild?

 

[bruce]

yea caeser its a rock and roll bed

would make alightly narrower next time but we learn from our mistakes but it still works fine

 

[bruce]
