The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop question for all y'all

Im 27.

Im the Ast.Office Mngr. at a vending company.

My Grandfather bought my '63 Stepside new for $1300. Before he died he in 1983 he gave it to my father. After my father died in 1999 it sat in my mom's yard for 2 years rotting away. I bought it from her in the fall of 2001 and it is now getting a heart transplant. The tired old 283 had 340k miles on it..and they say american cars dont last! Im putting in a GM 350 crate motor with a TPI intake from a 1989 Trans Am, but for all you old school guys i am keeping the 3 on the tree...I cant wait to get it going again!
