I drove car into shop, pulled engine. It ran nice.
Was in a 59 dodge regent/manual transmission. Someone obviously went to a great deal of trouble to mate it to that transmission. Which i guess im trying to undo.
I think before i spend a dime on this i may just go look at a low mileage engine on kijiji. Or pop the 360 magnum in,efi and all.
Too many options.im calling it a wrap for now. Budget build out the window...
