Judging from the background there I would say this is going in a 4 speed car! Very Nice!
Be prepared for lots of questions about the block

Good luck on your build, I hope you have better luck than all the others that have tried to make those blocks work. The metal welded in the crank to balance it there is not a good idea. Everyone I have seen done that way over time come out. Not trying to be negative, trying to help..... Maybe it's not heavy metal welded in there, hard to see in that pic.

You are right, its not heavy metal he just needed to fill in a drill hole a few oz. I hope the block turns out, that's why I am posting here. Hopefully people will say the problems they have had with their blocks so I can try and solve the problems before I get it in the car. Thanks Mike

Looks killer. An engine like that deserves a billet timing chain cover! different bolt patterns
