First Pics of ERA #795

[kevins2]

Due to work and other commitments, I haven't been able to get out to the garage much to work on the car. However, I did reach another milestone and have the beginnings of an engine. A local Cobra owner - he's active on this site, so I'll let him chime in if he choses to - had a '68 side oiler short block for sale and also told me about an engine builder in the area. I researched the engine builder and he has been building FEs all his life and, although not active on any forums (he doesn't even have a website), he has racked up a number of very positive comments about his work and abilities with FEs. He's been referred to as the "go-to guy" in the area for the racing crowd. Anyway, I picked up the shortblock yesterday and will be taking it to this engine builder to have it magnafluxed for cracks and possibly pressure tested. The motor came out of a Chris Craft and seems to be in very good shape (closed cooling system). There is only a bit of surface rust in one of the cylinders but not an issue.
