Some updated images for this thread. Have some captions to go with it.
The engine pic is a replacement engine since the original 216 decided it didn’t want to drive the rest of the way to Winchester Va. the new engine is a 62, 235cu.in. with a fresh rebuild. Raised water pump kit and a 216 valve cover.
