Indeed, looking really very good now!

Machine polished the Infiniti. It's a pain in the ass color to get looking clean, too.

Including a whole bunch'a diff'nt things, also.

Apparently with just a 440, the matching 727 (different bolt pattern housing) and a set of new engine mounts you too can have your very own tyre shredding torque monster (480 lb-ft) and something resembling fuel economy. Edited for English accuracy. How long have you lived there Phil, Tire really !...

Just ordered a different crank pulley. Hopefully that'll at least get me to the point I can put the water pump and alternator on.

Lope. Rev. Different lope.

Running engine really does make the most sense surely. Especially if the parts are easier & cheaper for a 440 too. Easier yes. Cheaper no. Everything big block is expensive. I'm just trying to work out what year/model accessory drive I have so I can match it up and get the correct matching part...

I can get a new front pulley set for about $300

Or a running 440 for $2000
