Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all the support. Just rolled in for the day, put on about 450 kms, or 280 miles and have the bugs to prove it!

Y’know, the SBC is everyone’s favourite mongrel dog to kick around since the invention of the LS, but it’s really hard to argue their reliability. The car never once so much as hiccuped, no charging or oil pressure issues, and never once got above 190 degrees, even in the 90F ambient temperature in the heat of the day. Lots of power on tap, passing never an issue, and cruised comfortably all day.

Really couldn’t have asked for any more.

The scenery was beautiful and the weather perfect all day, here’s a couple of pics as proof of life.

Lol

Probably going to chill tomorrow, then hitting the road again on Wednesday. Got our sights set on Waterton Lakes National Park and the town of Waterton itself. Should be a blast, more pics then.

D,
It's great to see you enjoying the fruits of your labor and hard work. Looks like a nice peaceful, scenic drive. Also, it doesn't look like many cars out there, which makes it more enjoyable.
You may consider a bug net for the front of the car. I used to use one back in the day. It's more to keep the excess pests out of your radiator and condenser.
Oh, and thanks for sharing the pics. ;)

Curious Donovan, how is it doing for MPG? I personally could care less about a high revving V8 in an old car, effortless low end torque with acceptable horsepower.
