The car, 67 Cuda had a slant six from birth. This is the car my friend and I drove in high school. But now a new 402 will be installed for a little kick it up a notch effect. We're trying to get it ready for the end of 2010 & 2011 shows. Should be one sweet ride when we're done. The whole end will be powder coated, the wiring will be redone and tucked away. A rebuilt 904 with a lower 1st gear to burn the tires up. Here's a few photos of the start by removing the slant six. Very easy by removing the engine from the bottom (Dutch Bros Lift). No hood removal and no engine bay damage.

Keep us updated,that slant setup looked pretty sweet.I'm sure the 402 will be more fun tho.8)
 
We're getting closer to putting this whole thing together. One motor mount was bad and to be replaced.

Awesome work.

Bring it to Fall Fling in this In Progress form.

Guess who's on the Fall Fling flyer again. :read2:
 
The engine went about 15 mins with no problems. The owner Steve was real happy with the look and the finish. Now the fun begains with wiring and plumbing.
