Thanks guys,

It's a 351w that has been balanced and blueprinted with a medium comp cam and roush heads and all the goods. He spent all of his money on the chassis and motor work but the body and interior are quite rough. (Desert car) I'm plucking the engine and getting it running in short order with shiny things and go fast stuff. It's an automatic :( and non matching motor so I guess it's restomod time. All in all I get to play in the garage and get dirty fingernails. I am really happy. I will post progress pictures soon :spin2:
