What's the record now? When was it set?

Steve Ray is right, definately an Alfa 2000. Looks slightly lowered.
Yes, I'm looking for side engine mounts. The block holes are different from '53 to the '58 in. I know somebody makes modified mounts,just can't...
Who's got the best deal on engine mounts? I'm putting a '58 235 in a '53.
What about battery acid resistance?
Wasn't an Ab Jenkins car Best of Show at Pebble Beach a few years back? Wonder where it was between PB and its "real life"?

Anybody know if the new shafts have the head-bolt relief cut in them? Don't see how they could work for '49 to '58. Chinese repop?
Yes, you're right, my boss's '41 Chevy looks like a desert under the valve cover compared to the later stud mount sixes. Maybe we're trying...
