    Found a few more ads for you.

    Now the Chevy boys can't say they are the only ones making 1 horsepower per cube anymore. :)

    Next step in the restoration of the Jetfire. Complete front suspension rebuild. Lots of cleaning and wire brushes. More work but will be worth it.

    New update! Installed the correct 10" flywheel, clutch assy, and super T10. The stock t10 had a 2:56 first gear and was hard to get it moving with slipping the clutch. The new trans has a 3:42 first gear. That makes a big difference!! Next install the new replated rear bumper. Still more to do!!

    Thanks for posting pictures of the intake setup. I recently picked up a 63 but in had the intake swap done on it years ago. I'm hoping to find the parts to put it all back someday. Yours is looking good.
