Well, its been 4 years and the engine was install a couple of days ago. I fired her up with open headers and scared the poop out of woman,children and whimpy men for miles around.There is a couple of links listed below if you would like to see the complete restro.

I drove mine across town @ 7 in the morning with open headers to get the exhaust installed.
Luckily I did not wake up any cops.

Build looks great.

Definitely going to turn more than a few heads.

The orange block in the black engine bay is one of the most beautiful sites i ever seen.  Then you add the polished TTI's..   :drool5:

For a 68 yes, orange is right for 69 though.

Wonderful build, you don't really need the video to imagine what it sounds like looking at those headers  :D

Wow!!  :icon_smile_tongue:  Can I hang with you?  It's cars like yours that put the respect back into why these cars are true Muscle cars and what the era was all about.  Awesome colors, stance, everthing?  I just became a fan of black again.   :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.
