Pretty Cool Don,  Will have to keep watching.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

Thanks for the offer, Im most likely going to sell it along with most of the components you see on the engine.
