Okay, to cut a long story short I got ripped of majorly for the first time ever when buying a car. ended up being a tired 289 with mis-matched conrods and all, you name it it was fucked. Anyway Ive pumped a fair bit of cash into her and heres a few pics of some of the parts Ive got for her, basically the only part of the motor that was in it thats being kept is the 289 block it will be bored 40 thou over with a 347 Scat stroker kit

Heres what was in the sump of the motor

4 years later & still not done. I took it off the mechanics last month that basically built the engine & let it sit in their shed for 4 years. So what its got is re-painted same colour, new bonnet without hole, 9" re-built & installed (its too short trying to find rims. Hopefully dont have to tub it.) Front end rebuilt & chassis strengthened. Ill try get the engine & box in over the Christmas period if I can get away from the family....
