Also I picked up a complete 77F engine on the cheap, so that's what I'm using instead of the 75, which was missing a lot of parts.

Just an update:

The 75K engine was not complete and acquiring the missing parts was probably gonna cost me over $100. I was able to pick up a complete 77F engine off Craigslist for $165. I just finished tearing it down and now it waits for soda blasting. I also scored a nice set of round-top carbs off eBay and just finished rebuilding them last night.

Well, unfortunately there is no real update on this project. Getting divorced, moving, and child support have left the funding for this project in the red. So at this time, unfortunately, there is no update. But I WILL keep you all posted!
