Re: 1964 “California Caliente” build
Lots has happened, building a 331 with a 2x4 and toploader. Lots of floor work and engine compartment bracing! But it’s coming along.

Re: 1964 “California Caliente” build
Is it a big block or small block?? I wanted to represent the mercury somehow. I also got an early 260 timing cover with the breather tube, so hopefully that will work since the valve covers are solid.

Re: 1964 “California Caliente” build
They are the same as these:
