Thanks! It works well...doesnt give alot of room behind the Alt, but ive never had a problem... My '62 has same setup on it... and i have a few running around out there, as well... I have a few alum blocks in the cabinet...

Got the new heads on it, last weekend... I figured out what pushrods i needed, and should have them tomorrow... Once valvetrain is set, i can prime it, and its ready to install... Intake is not bolted on yet, as valley pan isnt either. Gettin closer! Converter is at ATi... should get it back anytime

Sneaking up on it Brent. I need to post you up a pic of my partner's '64 tri-power GTO if we ever roll it out of the back shop sometime.

Gettin' closer by the minute! hehe... I would like to see the '64 GTO... heck, I'd like to have a '64!

I think he is about ready to sell the GTO...too many irons in the fire and too many other projects.

I hear you... I have 3 cars to tinker with..but , the Bird is gettin all my attention this year...the other 2 run just fine, and are there whenever i wanna blow the cobwebs out of them....
Got my pushrods today and ATi is done with my converter..should have it in the next couple days! Still doubt that i will make INdy in APril, but shootin for Joliet in late June...
