Southern Nights - We got that greasy little race car home and it was a mess. Even the little truck was messy but a lot of elbow grease and pressure washer use cleaned both up to the point they were allowed back into the shop. We pulled the motor out of the black 55 and it had work to be done to it. The cam had lost a lobe when the roller twisted causing the push rods to leave trails out thru the hood, not once, but twice.
It looks like it will be a couple of weeks before the 55 will be back on the track. So I turn my attention to the pickup and getting its motor installed. The flathead left a hole for its replacement but man was it tight fitting the 348 into the hole. Nothing fit, so out it came and a automatic transmission was put on the motor.
