got my engine back !
I picked up my L78/L89 engine yesterday. I can't wait to get it back in the 68. I didn't get any good pictures with the camera but did get a couple with the trusty cell phone....
  This is what it used to look like. Lots prettier now  . I look at that picture now and cringe at the way I had the chain attached to the engine.. I won't be doing that anymore. I just recently started using the lift plates. Tommy

Re: got my engine back !
Yeah, good driver quality paint and nice new strong floors
. Got the interior sitting in the garage ready to set back in the car and then just need to get a windshield and figure out how to install it, I broke the original while figuring out the removal method.... Here is an old picture but it still looks the same. The orange engine is for the blue 72.  Tommy

Re: got my engine back !
It's on it now, that was an old picture. I sold the cowl hood. This picture is current.
I found that hood on Ebay and no one bid. I grabbed it for 126 dollars. It was just outside Chicago and a friend from Steves Nova site lived nearby so he picked it up when I bought it. A month later he brought it with him on his way to Texas. I met him in Memphis which isn't too far of a drive for me. I always thought that was extremely nice of him to do that. I was scared of having the hood shipped... Tommy

Re: got my engine back !
Tommy, that hood looks killer on that car and always wanted to see one on a Nova! PS, you have to send those tow tabs to Plowman. I want a pair!
