            Pat…sure we will. We have skiing here, we just called by a different name. Melt the snow, get a boat (your injected small block would work good for this) get long rope – I think you know where I am going with this. WATER SKIING in the warm weather.

                    Mater just my 2 cents but I’d get rid of those valve covers and get some originals.Aside from that it’s looking good.

                        Tomatohead……Let me know when, it is a good place to get out of the cold.
                        By the way if the distributor is in the front the engine is in backwards.

                                …….. OK OK I know I said we were done with the vette 😆 but you know how that gones ❗ you all really never done 😉 so Rons got this hood at home ……… didnt even tell me about it ❗ could if I knew he had this hood we could have stuff a 454 under there 😆 so now I have to talk him into putting a BIG BLOCK in the Vette 😀 ……….. it just seems right to Me ❗ 😆 …………. I think its a really nice hood 😀 just the way I like them , its white and its fiberglas , and hot air comes out of the back of it like mine 😀 ….. I think I might have to get a vette ……………………………………………………………………………………………. nnaaaaa 😆

                                                            Mater.for 77k ‘original miles,it sure looks like the engine was maintained well (other than a ‘little carbon build-up on the piston domes,no big thing).Maybe borrow a ‘Chevy’ hat to wear,or tee-shirt while working on it,so the ‘engine doesn’t get embarrassed a ‘Ford’ doctor is performing the surgery to rebuild it. 😆
