Hey Phat, I've got a friend that lives in Panama City now. We've been runnin' the roads in that '54 since 1993. He says we'd rule western Florida if I drove it down there during spring break. To quote that movie: "We're on a mission from God".
I'd have to find a 235 1'st series block with the correct motor mounts to use a different block. Sounds like I need to call PTE359.
BTW, will magging my block affect the bore job?
