Cheers Pete. Is there much advantage of having more space under the hood of a B Body?
Andy, it in a Container bobbing its way over to Norway.

You clearly have not tried fitting Headers or installing spark plugs and boot wires on the Pass side then.....

Well The Bee arrived yesterday and was in a rougher condition than I had hoped. Also, the Hood has been damaged from someone trying to get it open by jimmying it from the back and bending it and presumably giving up, but I think its repairable. The Passenger rear fender looks like its been welded on but I dont know why as its rusted out at the bottom. On the whole the car is very sollid underneath, Trunk and Floor Pans etc. The Wiring is a mess but once it got the fuel through it fired right up. I go in Holiday tonight so Ill not be doing a thing in the mean time.

Yeh, when I finally get back on my Off-Shore rotation Ill have the time to work on it.
So all in all from the sellers house in Ohio to my door in Norway, (shipped in a Container) Its cost me £8500. Fair price or have I paid too much/little?

No mate, you were had
Only you can decide.
It's the trade off between an expensive immaculate car, or saving money and doing it yourself........

Looks good Andy, this shape is growing on me, I've got a good 440 here if your in the market for one. I took it in part ex against my 540 max wedge motor, don't know too much about the spec but I do know Tim holmes used it in his 64 polara regularly on the street, iirc it ran a best of 12.4 so pretty strong
