Unloading my '61 into the garage!

[Snowdog]

After years of trying to get it into a work-space, my Grandpa's '61 came home yesterday! It's going to be a lot of work, but I'm looking forward to it.

Nice.

I saw your avatar and thought, "Did Ben Simons get another truck?"

Nice!
Of course, we'll need more pics....

Cool! I'm working on a 61 also. Currently swapping out the 318 poly to a la360.

I'd hang onto that Poly as prices go up, work on it bit by bit - and swap your 360 for a stroker dual-quad semi-semi, if only for bragging rights!

Have you considered "doing" the Poly? High performance parts are available and, with the short block bore, stroke, and configuration same as the la318, stroking is possible to around 400cu. The heads flow better compared apples to apples and your engine would look relatively original? I read an article on this once before 340s existed.

your 61 is like my 3 and no key hole on drivers side. still an option that year. looks nice and straight
