It took about an hour. We had the toploader and headers installed but had to remove the passenger side header to get it in there.

Lot's of work still, but a huge milestone in the car's restoration. Hope to have it all plumbed wired and fired up again mid next week.

long block, is pretty stock. I bought it used, was told it had an RV cam in it.
top end has the streetmaster 390 intake, which I'll add a 1" spacer. Holley 770 street avenger. MSD dizzy, edelbrock aluminum water pump. FPA tri-y headers.

I'd like to do more to the engine, but budget is tight as I put the car together
