Thanks for the kind comments.
Red - Yes, as you figured out the engine and the suspension were stripped out and refurbished out of the car. I didn't liberate the subframe or disassemble the front end sheet metal. The original W72 engine is on a stand and tucked away. I pieced together a spare XX block that is stroked, 6X-4 heads with the full SD Performance port and polish job, and an original intake that was also heavily worked and cleaned up by SD. The carb is a spare with rebuild kit by Cliff, and the distributor is an aftermarket HEI. It was dynoed at Kauffman with I think 475hp and 550ft lbs peak.
