[3X24SPD]

I did a low budget rebuild on a 71 455 back in the early 90s.
Pulled out of a car that had been sitting in a pig farm down in MA for I don't know how many years.
It was pretty crusty, but it was free.

Cleaned it all up, hit it with a hone- and installed new rings & bearings.
Lapped the valves, new valve seals- and installed a Warrior 068 cam & 1.65 rockers.
Bolted on a 65 TriPower- and lit the fuse.

Ran pretty good, used to race it twice a week in a 4-speed 65 GTO.

Since then, it's been cycled through 4 different cars- and never so much as skipped a beat or needed any attention at all. Just like the energizer bunny.

I pulled it out of car #3 last summer, to install the new 440 in the 66 GTO. Dropped it in the 63 Tempest to serve as as a mockup for that build while the new 469 was going together.

Before I dropped it in, I decided to spruce it up with some fresh paint & new valve covers. Pulled the valve covers off for the first time since I built it 35 years ago...found this...
