    The first “built” y block I had was in 1968. The crank work receipt was from B&G. I don’t recall normal engine (automotive) work as being a mainstay then, but for the crank grinding they were the best in town.

    Thanks for the post HRP.

    Mine isn’t old but I’ve had a number of folks ask where I found it. Sure get some stares when your Cruzin down the road. 58A44D07-1410-4A05-90DC-C8202A68DF48.jpeg 1E176A8D-69A8-4071-8990-04779BC3ED09.jpeg

    Boy oh boy, that's pretty cool. I've had thoughts of a single seater for the street. Lots of fun. Thanks, Danny!

    Seeing that car being driven on the streets is amazing, totally out of place but looks so right.

    That has got to be a blast to drive! I can only imagine what the other drivers are thinking when they see that on the road...

  16. My guess is they ain't thinking at all, most are busy texting and not paying attention to what's going on around them :rolleyes: HRP

    Maybe the next one I will drive on the street....hopefully I have enough time left on this earth to do another...
