Spy shots from inside Area51Werks. Lots of cutting, hammering, fabrication and welding were rumored to have taken place today.

Good luck with that truck engine. Tons of torque but it doesn't like high rev's. IIRC the first yr 348 (1958) was the fast one and did not have the water jackets that yours has. Didn't that engine have a peaked surface where the heads mate. I can't remember. We used to drop those in 55-56 chevys. Had to cut out some firewall, reverse the rear motor mounts and fab some L brackets for the front mounts. You took me back a few years with those pic's, Rick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)
