1967 Cuda Notch 273 w/904

I've been doing some work on my 'cuda, and I'm logging my progress offline with pictures as I go. I want to also share the progress on FABO, being as that is where many of the tips and advice I'm using have come from. These first pictures are what I was sent from the old owner before I bought it. He was the 3rd owner to have it. He was getting ready to swap out the stock 273 2BBL with 904 for a 340 4BBL with an 833. I ended up taking the original 273 and the 904. I would have LOVED to have the 340 but I didn't have any more $$$.

The guy he bought it off of (2nd owner) wanted to turn the car into a racer. He had swapped the power steering setup for a manual box, and also had taken the blower/heater out and patched the firewall. He had also stripped it down and had painted the engine bay. In the process he (for some reason) removed the fender tag. I haven't found a build sheet yet. He had it garaged for several years and never did make anything of it.

The original owner had it for 30 years and from what I can tell had babied it. It has been in Idaho its whole life, and with the thick undercoating and unsalted roads, the body/chassis is very solid. There are 43,000 miles on this car!
