Nice Score Mike ! Except for that dent in the front fender , it looks clean . Why are you going small block and not putting a 440 back in it ?
 
thanks bear....I think it will be more friendly with a 318...and I have a new set of old headers for small block van.I don't have any idea what kind of wheels yet...these are rollers so I could give those others to tbone416.

the dented front fender does suck.
 
A 318 or a 360 wouldn't be bad . Maybe with a set of 3:55's in the rear . But I still like the idea of a big block . I don't know , maybe my new hot rod Warlock is rubbing off on me or something . lol
 
Sweet van! It would look good painted black with flames and a mushroom shaped bubble window's on the side's and don't forget the side pipes!

That dent ought to buff right out. The nice thing about the older, thicker and softer sheet metal is that you can do a lot with a hammer and dolly. With the newer, thin hi-tensile stuff about the onliy thing you can do is lay it on the ground, use a rubber mallot on it and hope for the best.

thats right....only problem is i might have to use a stud gun,so some metal flake flames might not be a bad idea.leave the rest of the paint like it is and put some bass boat flake old skool flames on the front...btw,those dents in the front just about made me pass on it....it woulda went to the scrap yard.its hard to let someone send an old dog to the pound!
