Well Wagonmaster, there is a clean up in the future. I know, it was dirty in the pic. Fresh coat of black suede and an interior redo soon. The fuel mileage issue, work provides me fuel.
As for the little leaner, it is a cast crank engine, but I do just happen to have a freshly bored .030 over steel crank block, and a good standard/standard crank. I bought the 7.5:1 pistons a few years back when the machine work was done. I am going to use the head with oversize stainless valves from the truck engine with a new 280 cam.
A turbo and efi is in its future...it will be backed with a 833od. Its new home will be a different twist on a roadster.

Thanks golden arm, I am nowhere near done with the truck.

1964 A100 window van. Just because it has spark plug tubes doesn't mean it's a Hemi.
