Nice looking job. I started my 68 about a year later, and did about the same work sheet metal wise. You look to be a bit ahead of my schedule, but pretty close. Can’t wait to see yours done for some inspiration.

Bolted a few parts to front of the engine for fitment check and to fill in time until I move the car to the bodyshop for final sand / paint . They will also fix any bodywork issues that I didn't get straight.

The 440 is going to be somewhere in area of 500- 540 hp , the rad I have is meant for the big block so I'm confident it should be ok . If I remember right it's a 3 core with dual electric fans.

Looks like you had local BB expert, Al build your engine.
Boy I hate to say it, but that is the first thing I thought too seeing that electric fanned radiator setup.
Lol, I recognize that fella! Where abouts you from? I'm near Peterborough.
Beautiful work by the way!
