Who knows but I doubt it.

Something that’s been sitting on a shelf for about 5 years isn’t something that I’d consider NOS.

Something produced 40 years ago yes, look for some genuine GM NOS...

Unfortunately studs are an aftermarket thing for oil pans that personally I feel are unnecessary at least for stock type stamped steel pans.

He has studs not bolts.

Whoever did the assembly should have used sealant on the stud threads when installing the nuts so oil wouldn’t wick down the threads. The pan gasket won’t always stop oil...

Never give up as long as you have the will and the interest.

I’m sure there’s a shop somewhere not too far away that can troubleshoot and fix the soft brake pedal.

A hot rod shop that has...

I doubt that a few shims under the core support are what’s bringing the fenders down enough to cause rubbing.

Going one tire size smaller is probably the easiest way to solve this issue.

That’s a small cam for a 462 at 8.5:1.

With 3.55 gears it should be okay with a stock converter, something like a 2500 stall would be nice though.

Contrast it to this 455 with 8.6:1:

A low priced car with 180 horsepower in 1955 was a sensation. :)

Should be an awesome cruiser, save up for some wide whites!

All of the above.

What would be the reason to bring likely unwanted attention to your property?

Inviting “local government ineptitude” to the party might be what you’ll end up with.

KRE offers a 260 cfm head with smaller valves on the order of 2.06/1.66 or something close to that with a 65cc chamber that’s ideal for 350 builds so they’re readily available.

Bravo! :thumbup:

A 350 that can put 300 to 350 to the wheels is a pretty hot 350 that will require a lot more than the usual cam swap, intake, carb and headers.

Honestly I’d start looking for a 400 or better yet a...
