Thank you for a great site.
My wife and I were looking for a project car and found a 74 Scamp to be the car to work on. Once we got it home and drove it around with the built up /6, we realized that we want a big block under the hood. My wife and I have found a 383 that was $250 and in good shape. We've started tearing the 383 down to inspect the journals, walls, bearings, lifters to find that it is in excellent shape on the inside. The outside is caked with so much crap (2 inches worth in some areas) that we've made a big mess just trying to get the block numbers visible.
Anyway, we're excited to be working on this and I'm glad that I have a wife that wants to get dirty with me. Here are pictures of the car as bought.
Thanks again for a great site!
