You have lots of time to do your research on engine choices and builders. Start with your desired intentions for the car ( be honest and realistic with yourself) and don't over build the motor for your intended use.
My car was built and painted 20 years ago by ERAs preferred painter back then.

Hi Troy,
Not going to race it but its not just going to sit idle.
The Car Specification is changing by the day!!
I am still going the Period Correct Route and have now found the following:
1963 289 HIPO Block Bored .040 (5 Bolt Bell House Pattern)
1963 Pair Original Cast Iron Heads
1963 Bellhouse (5 Bolt - Narrow Style)
1964 4 Speed T10 Transmission
All items are correct Cast Numbers. Engine will be Fully Machined as necessary, together with a Jim Inglese tuned - 8 Stack Weber arrangement on top!
I am waiting for the Engine Builder to get back to me with specification as I need a hot streetable engine rather than something that's highly stressed.
Thanks and Regards
David
