thanx BH that is what I am going to do. she is one fine car other than that. One aspect, I could always punch the 352 out to a 374 and paint it to 374 stock. Visibly the engines are identical to the untrained eye for the local car viewers.
I am used to restoring aircraft and that has a different set of criteria, matching numbers are not that important for some of the vintage birds. A few years back I did a WWI Eindecker EII. All I had was frame and rotted skin. Fixed her up used replica parts and it looked great to the Novice.

Thanx to all for the support, I need to focus on this as a great hobby and Family project we started on and not so much focus on the magic gem.
