"FI, we don't need no stinkin' FI"

There's life in Babes LX yet - starting with a new ticker
-
Thinking about 450 ponies at the motor - 350 or so on the ground
-
Take one vintage 78 302 block - hot-tanked, decked, bored and painted up a nice gloss red
Add one Eagle forged crank and pistons (balanced, of course)
"2 of 8"
Put it all together and Voila!
"It starts to look like 1-sweet Short Block - so what's next, you ask?"
 
a few assorted goodies - ARP and Comp Cams
