When I bought the Belvedere 3 years ago I spent 6 months chasing the cars history, this guy was the second owner and has the original trans which I wrote some notes down about. Today I called him to work out getting the trans and asked him if he ever did an engine swap and he said he put a 68 hemi in the Belvedere. When Imentioned the 71 he said he thought this engine went into a Cuda he had at the time and was lost forever.
Now comes the decission - does the engine go to the car or will the car come to the engine. He is chewing on it now. one way or another the package will reunite.
Thanks to all of you for the help - guess I really need to find that 66 block now, and BTW he thinks he knows where that is also.
its been a good day.
