Here's some pics of the new old 377 I bought. It's ugly right now, but should clean up fine. I probably won't use this carb, but will stick with the rebuilt 3310 that I have. Here's some of the new goodies I got for it during the week (performer rpm intake, new balancer, new timing cover, gaskets): A couple of snags realized today... this engine has a larger oil pan than I remembered and I'm pretty sure it won't work well for jtr ground clearance. However, I already have a buyer for it and just need to pick up another pan that I know will work. Also, the performer rpm heads are straight plug and I'm not sure yet what kind of clearance they'll have with the s&s headers I was planning to use. That's not really a big deal, though. I have another set of shorty block huggers that would work fine with this motor. And now for the good stuff... The car is black again: It's still got to be buffed out, but Dickey did a great job. He redid the whole exterior, the door jambs, underneath the wiper cowl, and the engine bay. My only complaint is that he didn't roll the rear fender lips as much as I wanted, but I can't really complain for the price. Hopefully that won't be an issue with the wheels and tires I'll be using. Well, technically I can complain... but the car is painted now and I'd hate for anything else to have to be redone. Dickey is going to buff it this week and I'll go next weekend to reinstall the rear window and my new windshield.
