You know what haven’t even decoded the tag yet to check the actual blue color
. That will be my next day up there. It’s at my shop in Nevada and there a common 3/4 crush Ground Rock called Nevada Blue I used on the property. So it seemed fitting. I do need to find out the color though. Thanks for the reminder.

Motor looks great! Exterior color will be spectacular as well. Do you have a time frame for paint?

Do not I’m at this point just want to get the car drivable. I will do a full resto with a 340 4speed but all to look close to factory. But since I pulled motor I just like to go over board. I up graded suspension to get a feel on handling. But she is coming out nice . I just purchased 2 4 post lifts to stack cars so I can get my cars out of booth so I can finish it to paint my cars.

PS I have 3 4 post lifts in this garage. I went smaller with this one, but depending on the size of the cars I have had 8-9 on one side and 2 in my other side. I am thinning the herd so it creates a lot of floor space.

Ya it is, now that I decoded it should I leave it stock or put 340 4speed? But keep everything? Thoughts

you answered your own question there..... 340 4 speed but keep everything you remove (if you have room). you can always add a 4" stroker kit to the 318 (392 ish) and refit it later for a numbers matching look.
neil.
