He puts alot of miles on it every summer, drives it every day all over the state. Him and I, with my 40, have been all over the New England. Rain or shine. He did a great job installing that 276 with L-100 cam. Didn't cut the firewall, Walker copper radiator, monuted in original place, Rad shell and hood fit perfect like original, Even squeezed an electric fan between the rad and engine, with 8BA water pumps and Chevy dist. T-5 trans and 37 rear with 3:78 gears. That car is a cruiser. Walt
