My dad came over today to work for a couple hours. Started tearing the the stuck engine apart so we could clean and transplant the tins to the new engine. Once we got the doghouse off we found the reason it wouldn't turn. A shot of my dad getting a shot of our discovery:

Also found 4 petrified mice on the left head. Made a shopping list and called it quits. More in a couple days.
 
I would say biuld a real baja-ish bug, that would be kick *ss, street bug are pretty neat too though.....It's only too ridiculous, if you don't do it.. :lol:
 
Mid-engine LS and ZF transaxle? Evil thoughts, be gone!

New project showed up yesterday. The owner of this '67 Nova is on a couple lonnng waiting lists to get a "$10,000 paint job" -- whatever that really means. My brother agreed to do the body work and consider painting it. It's a pretty nice start and he clearly has a bigger budget than any of my builds. Looks like a 350 with a 4L80 and a narrow Moser 12bolt. Sounds good!

Wow!! It's no wonder that engine was stuck. That's some nice hole in the case. Of course the tins covered up the damage.
I guess that engine is good for the tins, nuts and bolts, heater boxes, header, distributor, etc.

That street Baja bug looks pretty cool. I've never seen them set up low like that. Usually raised with the big off road meats on them.
Japan is a "blackhole" for many of our muscle cars, exotics, and special interest cars.

That '67 Nova looks like a nice car. I'm sure it 's going to look super with new paint. Boy, that spray booth would come in handy right now.
