I almost put it in moth balls due to my job being up in the air, but I decided things will work out.  The 440/727 came out of an RV.  The car was mini tubbed originall, decided to put it back stock.  It was originally a 318 car.  The only rust was in the trunk and rear quarters due to a leak.  The quarters were replaced and it was mini tubbed by the guy I bought it from (never finished it).  I am hoping to have the tubbs out and have it painted with in a month.  Due to the 727 coming out of an RV I had to change the tailshaft and replace everything in it + torque converter (tranny shop).  The motor is stock with bolt ons, Holley St Dominator intake (thanks Chryco folled your advice), alluminum water housing, chrome brackets, chrome pan, water neck, chrome dipstick, headers, Holley 650 double pumper.  Bought a new posi trac rearend (the other was narrowed with 410gears) but will replace with a higher gear. Have refurbished and purchased chrome and grill.  Need a few more interior peices.  Will more pics of the resto as it continues.  I have asked for and recieved advice from several members from the tubbs to flange gaskets.  Thanks guys your advice and experience is priceless.  Great Site
