I tore down the short block a couple nights ago. Looks to have been rebuilt at one point, the crank bore had been cut .020" oversize. Everything else was still standard size and even though it had a ton of sludge in the block nothing looks to needs machine work. It was going to be a quick and easy rebuild, until... I dug around in my parts stash this morning and found all the major parts needed to turn the 1200cc 40 horse engine into a 1500cc stroker. I ordered most everything else needed this afternoon. Still need to find an appropriate dual carb setup, and I'll modify the stock muffler into an Abarth 4-tip copy.










I shot the inside of the passenger fender with some rattle can red and brown primer to sorta match the other fenderwells.




And fixed a few spots on the decklid.
