That was 2012. The plan was to use a 455 I had, put turbos on it, and mimic the rest of that car I saw. Sounds simple, no?

In 1990 or so, the Courthouse in Montana burned to the ground, taking with it all records of cars that were registered in Montana. As you can see, this one had been sitting for awhile, so I had to apply for an ownership-in-doubt paperwork in Washington. To do that, I had to have a motor in the car then haul it to the State Patrol to be inspected... a lot of work, but the only way to tile it. Of course, the car didn't have a motor, so I bought one
