Thanks for the nice comments , I am pretty happy with it.
Here is the engine. Stock and points, runs decent. I have plans for new engine and tranny.

Looks good. Make sure when you build that new engine, do not use the fan shroud on this engine. It is likely a cheap aftermarket (EMPI) shroud that does not have the proper internal parts to have the most efficient cooling airfliow possible. Find a nice stock late model fan shroud, like this one.

I do not know the seller, and not trying to sell you on a particular shroud, just showing an example.

Finally got my engine in and freeway flyer transmission. Engine is bubble top 2007cc with Holley super sniper efi. Bus has plenty of power and is fun to drive. I can cruise on highway 65-70 pretty easily. New steering box up next.

I'm sure it is satisfying to drive with all that power, but please throw all of that chinese chrome shit in the dumpster and get good quality German cooling tin in place. It just functions so much better, and your engine will thank you while it lasts a good long time.
