well we have to drill a hole in the timing chain because the old location doesnt fit in my 1970

and i stripped the block down, cleaned every little corner of every part, painted them and bolted everything back together with a Fel-Pro gasket kit...the parts that i bought were a edelbrock 600 w/ electric choke, oil pan, ford performance intake manifold, and new valve covers

For all the "newbies" reading this, he means drill a dipstick hole in the Timing Cover, not the chain. Just did the same job with the 331 stroker I'm putting in the 77 Comet I just bought. The stroker was setup for my 89 Ranger, which uses all the same stuff the Fox body Stangs did.

Sorry, but no. The Vette is "Dads" (my) car. The Mustang is his

This is what that '69 Vette body will land on:
