A buddy of mine wanted a new motor... just something a little larger than what he had (his old motor was pretty... but lame)... and you know what happens then! It's a "while we're doing "X" can we also do "X and X and X"? Sure... why not... WTF... Got nothing else better to do!
This is one of those -- hate to but love to projects.... I hate it because the car is absolutely flawless.... and it's black and flawless... and did I mention it's flawless? Doing a motor swap over the fenders of a flawless black paint job isn't the right thing to do so I talked him into letting me pull the whole front end off.... and then it starts.... Brake lines.... wiring.... change this -- add that.
The new motor is a 496" BBC with Brodix heads... just what every 75 year old guy needs right?!?!?!?!
So here's a quick self explanatory picture show....
