    got it home today... went through fort campbell and through a major storm... just glad everything worked out...

    now how do i get that 4 barrel to work? lol(y)

    holley 650 carb, k and n air filter, high performance fan, he told me he put the largest cam he could without altering the heads (or pistons.... cant remember...):dancing: heck just the intake and carb and fan are worth 400:burnout:

    now all i need is a 157 tooth flex plate:cry:

    Very cool, but the carb looks like a 600 single feed. Still a great scoop.

    Looks like a great score, good luck can't wait to see it in the car. $400 bucks is a good price....

    You'll need a distributor, either points or Duraspark depending on which you want to run. I don't know how much you know about this engine, but you need to determine weather this engine has a roller cam or not so you can run the proper gear on the distributor.

    Also, if you plan to run a mechanical fan, throw that POS flex fan away and get a stock fan and shroud.
