Juliet,
I finished the original engine and it's on the engine stand in the shop. I haven't even started thinking about an engine swap. She's running way too well right now. She was on a 2,000 mile road trip last year and on several shorter ones this winter. That truck motor has tons of torque and I do love torque
. Also, I've been getting about 19 MPG/ highways and she'll turn a halfway decent 1/4 mile so I think I'll let things be for a while.
BTW- the picture of the '71 is from the first day I had her. It's not the best picture, but it was the only one I could upload. (Thanks to Adam for the personal folder space.) I need to find someway to get a scan of the '96, but I figured that this being a c3 forum most people would only want to see sharks. Good luck in Cleveland.
Lidia
