yeah it's the race 110 profile. With Kadrons


so the bottom end is done, just need to bolt up 3.5 sump and screw on flywheel, then get top end on and dress it up with tin-wear (now a new color).

Then the bitch of the project, putting it in the car.

Probably Valencia at the old municipal airport at Indian Dunes, if it's still there. They used to film the Black Sheep TV series there in the 70's and the A Team in the 80's.
