A buddy of mine happened to have a good 383 sitting on the floor of his shop. Figured that way I can completely go through the original one, and still enjoy the car with the other engine.

Dropped the rear a little today.

Ended up dropping another 383 in. I want to rebuild the original one of these days.

.....five years later and I'm finally driving the old girl! Lol I still need to get the gas gauge and radio working, but everything else is working great. Another C back on the road. :)

To me it's not about the money at all. It's about preserving something that represents a period of time that is gone and will never return.

I love these old trailers too. Add that to my list of things I want to own someday. I picture my girl and I pulling one of these old beauties behind a station wagon. :-)

Are those ghosts???? lol

Yeah, I always tend to take an easy project.......and make it not so easy! lol

Thanks for all the advice and help guys. I really appreciate it! Once I get the engine out and on a stand to inspect it better, I'll figure out what my game plan is.

That's kind of where I'm at now on this project....might as well just yard her out and do it right. That way I can clean and detail under the hood also.

Decided to pull the heads off today. Still didn't find anything obviously wrong. There was a big a$$ spider who had taken up residence in one of the cylinders though! That was....not too cool at all! lol

This is the debate I'm having with myself now! If I decide to go with a new cam, what do you guys recommend for a good street performance cam?

Thanks Alan! That's good info! So it was originally a 2 barrel car. Cool to know the build date too! :)

Story I was told from my buddy up in Washington: It was some kids "dream car" but he fell on hard times and couldn't drive it anymore. So it sat. He doesn't live in the best of neighborhoods, so people started pulling parts off it. I could see that being true for the carb and valve cover. But...

My progress today. The biggest news is that I got the motor unstuck!!! Once I got the water pump and everything out of the way, I figured I'd put the socket on it and give it one more try, and she popped loose! I guess last time I just couldn't get a good enough pull on it with the fan and...

Here is the fender tag. Can you guys decode it?

On the flat surface right by the distributor is has a casting D383 and 16 R. Does that mean anything besides that it's a 383?

It does have 906 heads.

How can I tell which 383 it is? Would that info be on the fender tag?

Beautiful car!
