No, he had no history of the car. He got the engine from a friend of his, they were both circle track racers back in the day and apparently they used the high revving 302’s pretty regularly.

I was lucky enough to be the one who got it…

It was freshly bored 060. Damage mentioned was very minimal, a 1/4” chunk taken out of the bottom of a cylinder from a rod that went south at some point in its past.  386 block, VIN is 561327 as noted.

 Crank was a std/std 1178, nice set of used 060 TRW 2210’s, but had small journal rods hung on them, so I’ll need to replace those. Heads were wrong as well.  I will source the rest of the correctly dated parts that I don’t already have in my inventory and put this thing together , then tuck it into a corner for a rainy day.

Tough to find a real one anymore. Especially at a decent price.

Donn was a very nice gentleman...we talked for a couple hours.
