The 360 i bought in New jersey had one 360 and one 304 head.. after hunting high and low on the www for a matching set of 360 heads to a fair price i found a complete engine for $350 + $100 in shipping to New jersey.. so looks like i import a second engine

Got the 360 to a friends garage and started on it, everything gets cleand and painted, new bearings, pistonrings and freezeplugs are inn. Starting on the heads next:thumbsup:

Waiting on my Edelbrock Torker intake, need to order a pair of hedman hedders, flywheel and some other stuff... but i start to belive this is happening :burnout:
 


















Seems like you are out in the snow working on cars all the time, so I had to ask. I don't usually see temps below 60* F in the day over here. I don't mind a little cold and snow, but not for six months straight.

Do they salt the roads there?

Had winters like this all my life.. guess you get used to it:D

But 60*f (15*c) sounds nice:p
