I always Knew that a 69 sport coupe was a strong car. Look at the factory roll cage. Full NOS quarters are going to be installed with the fender flares. NICK L72

Engine is being assembled with care. It used oil when it was new. Pistons are the original 11 to 1 with no gap rings. Waiting on parts at body shop. NICK L72

Paul. Why would You ask that? The only parts that are original are the block, crank, heads, and Carb. The bearings are King HD performance, and the rings are no gap Total Seals. Everything else is Comp Cams or ARP. NICK L72

I use that or a long bar when that big block is hard to turn. I used a threads all to measure the push rods, they are the right length. Right side is done. Working on the left. More pics. Perfect fit.
