Next step is to tear down all of the chrome and interior and send it off for paint. I wonder what it's going to cost me to get painted?

I will have to do some converting in order to stick with the centerlines though. I am a big fan of centerline wheels on this car. Most folks can't stand them.

Good choice on the exhaust! After 2 sets of hookers I bought my TTi's a few years ago and I love them, ground clearance is no long as issue at they make power to boot!
I have the same wheels on my Duster! Does your car have the small lug pattern? The 5 x 4.25?

And that bare block is a future 383 stroker motor that my wife is wanting to build and put into a Camaro or Chevelle
If you were to do a 180 in that picture there are two bare block 273s waiting for Mopar bodies. Actually there is a running 273 in the Barracuda right now. What am I going to do with 3 273s???
I'm telling you guys, my brother was feeling some family love that day he called and told me that he had a few things he wanted to give me.
