Next time I come through Burlington I'm going to look you up.......I've said it before but I'm fully retired now and may be heading to Winston fairly soon. 1937 Chevy 1/2 ton Pickup 1950 Chevy Styleline Deluxe Coupe 1953 Chevy 1/2 ton Panel Delivery I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hubcap than ride in a Ferd.

At first glance it looked like someone had bolted 2 V6s together but then noticed the block was a 1 piece casting with 4 separate heads and associated manifolds, 2 distributors. I didnt hear it running though. Tony 1938 1/2 ton Hope to drive it before I retire

Half was under the hood and the other half was under the floor. VCCA #45194
