paint is 95 % good all over .. that`s why i probably wont repaint it .. got the old motor out today .. not gunna be as easy to swing that 650 LBs 429 over the rad support so i cut some of it out . it can welded or be made to bolt back in easy enuff ..not sure how many times in and out the motor will need ..i have frame and motor mounts from an older model if needed .. not sure if i need a rear sump oil pan yet .. the 302 was rear sump but there is lots of room and if need be i can raise the engine an inch or so ..gotta find a coulmn shift automatic column .. want to find a non power steering unit and non power brakes system .. want to find a non air heating system ..i`m one who the only power stuff i want is what the engine makes ..i dont think fuel and ignition systems will be much of a prob ..just revert back to old stuff ... got a busted 5.0 if anybody wants it ...

Not a bad looking truck,Hoss.. That 429 will wake it up.. If we were closer,,I'd take that old busted 302 off ya hands,,but it might cost a bit to put it in an envelope and send it down..
