The car I drive is a shared seat time deal. He did well in the points last year so I didn't drive a lot but it is a hoot. It is owned by another buddy.

Inuendo, wasn't he an Italian proctoligist?

Scout, other than just wanting a year appropriate block, does it make that much of a difference on this car since it's not stock anyway? :dunno:

Dang! looks real nice!  :tup:   I'd say you did real well for a budget build. What cylinder heads are you running on it?

I thought that too. Do think it really matters? It will never go back to stock.

Thank you, pictures conceal quite a bit on the paint.
It looks fantastic from 10 feet, but can be picked apart if you get closer.
I don't know a lot about the engine off hand, it was purchased as described.
I can look at the specs and see.
Overall we are pleased and have a lot of fun with it.

My wife worked on it 4 years before I got involved. She did all the body and bright work.
I have spent 2 years on the mechanical. It was a real mess. So far 6 years.

I guess numbers don't really matter then.
Do you still have your coupe?
We have a restored 66 coupe in storage, they are nice cars.

I wouldn't worry about it if it's never going to be stock. :twocents:
