Noop first time posting, with regards to the engine there is a story, but in short I bought the car with the engine seperate, believing, or told, the block had not been bored. After investing significant money to bring it home to New Brunswick, I find out the 396 was already bored 90K , so much for the numbers matching game, hence I built a ZZ454 Gen VI with old 781 iron heads, of coarse they are worked. However, it is not for racing, it is a street car.
Thanks for your comments, I would like some feed back or comments on the dimensions for Sport Deluxe emblems that fit on the rear 1/4 panels

Street car ? good for you... here in Ontario... they pull garbage trucks off the road for "Racing" e.g. 90km in a 60km zone... you have a lot more room in N.B.

I am looking at your cowl tag and have questions.

It appears by your tag that your car is a Custom, Granada Gold with bucket seats originally. Did you change it, or was this done before you got it? Or am I reading the tag wrong? If so---

I am NOT criticizing what you are doing if it is indeed a Custom and you are trimming it as a Sport Deluxe. It happens all the time. I happen to own a clone car as well (not a Beaumont though) and a lot of us here do.

Thanks Carl,
Well, I am using this web site as my source of information, and this is where I'll leant about my car, which is a 73617, 2 door hardtop with V8, the motor mounts which came with the car where correct for the 396 BB, I already commented on that issue!@##. You mentioned 73111 ?. Also this same registry stated A51 was an SD and being that any A51 made after Dec 1966 came with bucket seats , my floor is still the original and so are the seats which are Buckets.
I appreciate your questions, and before I continue my search for SD emblems , I would certainly welcome comment s from an authority.
Regards
Dale

Thanks Kevin;

I'll see what I can do for pics, it is under cover right now,

It certainly filled up the tub, before installing it, I broke it in on the dyno, it produced 550 ft-pds of torque at 2950 rpm, if you work out the math that equates to 500 hp which I have a video off.

How awesome is that? The guy asks for dimensions and Carl supplies him with ones that look like they were done with a CAD package! You da man, Carl!

Nice car, by the way!
