Can't wait to see the details!

Mike,

Pretty much everything under the hood (engine wise) is correct and original to the car, with the exception of the block. I recently purchased a correctly coded WC block which is already at the machine shop. I'll be pulling the engine (in the car) sometime in the next few weeks and sending it to the machinist to use the parts (crank/heads/intake/tin/etc) for the engine build. I'm not going to install the exhaust until the engine goes back in, so it will probably be 6-8 weeks (if all goes well) before I can give you any feedback regarding fitment, sound, etc....

Was that the WC that was for sale in your area?

Yes, this was the one in Sacramento, so I was able to pick it up as opposed to having to ship it.

The engine is back from the machine shop. I had it rebuilt using the date-code-correct WC block I bought. It's bored .060 over and the stock crank cleaned up at 10/10. I installed new forged rods and pistons, zero decked the block, and used a custom grind cam (Clay Smith Cams), complete valve job with all new valves, etc... The compression ratio is right at 9 to 1.
