Brian, ever get that photo yet of the scoop???
Here is a complete 462 with the tri power! I was under the car at the same time and came across some more cancer on both sides rear floors right in front of the rear wheel well openings. Its getting old...dang rust. Anyways I got a little upset so I unwound and tore down my spare 462 to take a closer look and then yanked the intake and distributor and slapped on the 3x2s. I am working on getting the motor running and then I will do some tests on compression and see what I've got. I came across some 1959 430 cylinder heads and I am putting them on to take care of the intake port issue. The 462 intake ports are significantly shorter than the 430 intake so I bought heads so the ports match. Might lose some low end torque but I will have plenty to haul with when I am done!

I do like the sleeper idea! Something to think about. Here are some scanned photos from my throw away camera probably back in 1999-2001. I got the brakes done so it must have been 2000-2001 or so. I was still in high school. I went to the store and bought valor blankets and a set of small sheets all in Navy blue. I wrapped the seats up and tucked the blanket behind the seat trim and put extra Lincoln stars on the backs of each seat (they fell off!) and wrapped the arm rest pads and rear shelf with sheet material. I also started turning the aluminum on the arm rest sides around and sanded lightly to get a brushed aluminum look..I guess it really was brushed aluminum after I did that! Thats all I got, finally got them on the computer!

I just received my 1959-60 cylinder heads from a 430 so the intake ports will match the Super Marauder intake. The 462 cylinder heads have short ports. Can't wait till I get the motor built...but it will have to wait unless I hit the lottery.
