Hi Phil, hope all is well in your end of the world. Haven't seen any updates on the GP. My own '54 Poncho's motor started hammering, so I parked it and decided after much thought to do what a billion other rodders have done and thats to swap in a SBC. The estimate to rebuild the in-line 8 was $5000 to do all the machine work and final assembly. PLUS, I had to buy the parts. Only kit I could find was $2500 Canadian delivered to my door. So for about $7500 to $8000 I'd have an inline 8 with maybe 125 hp trying to pull a 5500 pound hearse. So for $600 I bought an '86 chebby pickup with a 305 and TH350. Quite the savings I'd say.
Anyway, have a great Thanksgiving Phil.
