That's looking real good.  Keep taking and posting pictures! :clapping:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

the original drivetrain is the 383 /833/ 8 3/4
 the block was sitting 3 feet from the car when I bought it but the guy would not sell me the #s block , the tranny is also missing & the diff housing had a problem & was replaced in 82 so it now has a 512/ 833 OD / Dana 3.55  :2thumbs:
