Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

my schedule keeps a straight line right around zero done for about 4 years sofar
dunno wat is the better line

i did bought an engine for the project though , its being delivered tomorrow (yahoo)

you guys are going to laugh :
its a jaguar AJ6 6 inline and its going intoo a 1978 chevrolet c10
planning on buying the jaguar 4L80E transmission too

its an odd ball engine but it wil make more power out of the box than a chevy inline 6 will make hotrodded to the hilt
besides the jag engine cost about a 10th of the price of a used chevy unit were i live

all aluminium block and head , steel crank . 3.6 liter . 24 valve . twin overhead cam . fuelinjection
the engine doesnt take as mush space as the pickup so the first part of the project will be to get it running on a teststand with a megasquirt 2 setup
