65 Barracuda Gasser + 1956 325 Dodge Hemi Build

We continue the build process and fitment of parts. I guess anytime you have a engine from 1956 and want to use "modern" parts as an upgrade you will have these types of challenges.
As you can see we have most of the cool stuff sitting on the long block now. I am using a new distributor that had to be lengthened to fit the old hemi. We checked to make sure the engagement was correct, etc. Couldn't help but sit the valve covers and intake on the long block.......just to take it all in! We had to make a new timing pointer for the modern balanced damper.
Next will be the oil pump, pan and final assembly of everything! wooohoo!
Best, Chip
