November 27, 2019. I dusted off 15 inches of snow, pulled back the tarp and did a bit of exploring.
The engine suffix code is definitely "EE". I can't get to the block part number to verify if it's a 327 or 350. I found the radiator support is bent and rusted out under the battery box. I'll be doing a minor repair and paint to the spare I got with the 68 front clip. I poked the exhaust manifold back where it belongs after chasing the threads. I need to acquire a set of studs before I put the final install on it. The starter to battery wire was missing, so I bought a new one. I thought I lucked out when I found an ignition switch key under the radiator support, but it no worky. I wasted two cans of cheap paint on the previously blue, then orange and now white right front fender. I'll pound out a few dents whilst waiting for the replacement wheel house to arrive.
I picked up the 72 bed trailer this evening. It is beat up a bit which is to be expected. It has some gnarly tires on it though. It has the 16.5 inch split rims. I'll use them to roll the Kogai around on until I get it running in a satisfactory manner, then put on a set of mid 2000's alloy rims that I just bought.
Hi Ron, I AM a Marine!
