    I spent most of the winter putting a new "bullet" in my 40 sedan. It had the original motor that was used by Vern Williams when he built the car in the late 80s. It ran well but was dirty and leaked oil. I decided to build a fresh 355 Chevy with a little more cam and aluminum Edelbrock heads. I fired it up this morning for the first time! No issues so far just need a few minor adjustments and I will be ready for the hot rod season to begin.:D
