Welcome from Indiana. Have fun with your project.
I agree, it changes the whole attitude of the car just having them on there.I wish the factory had continued those in 73/74.
It just looks right.
Part of me hopes it is, and part of me hopes it isn’t. If it’s not then I have an excuse to build a 440 lolWouldn't it be sweet if it were a 340 car? If it were I would leave it be.

340- super rare.
400-4 somewhat common.
400-2 common
318- incredibly common
After deciding the fender code a bit, this car came with a 318, but I haven’t looked at the code on the block yet to see if it’s the same motor. Someone put edelbrock intake, valve covers, and a new carb on. Not sure but I THINK it might have a mild cam in it as well. When you pop the trunk it has some stickers on the lid. That’s the only indication I have that the motor might have a cam in it. What’s funny to me is, if it does have a cam in it, they put all that stuff on there but no headers?
You know the small blocks have the numbers on the driver side front of the block just below the gasket surface, right? The stamping is usually kind of light so cleaning it good will help see it.....After deciding the fender code a bit, this car came with a 318, but I haven’t looked at the code on the block yet to see if it’s the same motor.

Yes, it’s raining here in Texas. I have the car covered but once the rain stops sometime next week, I’ll pull the cover off and clean it up and check the numbers outYou know the small blocks have the numbers on the driver side front of the block just below the gasket surface, right?

Yeah, it's raining here too but not hard.....yet. If I walk out to the street and back to the shop, I won't be soak and wet but will be a little wet. It's raining just hard enough to not want to do anything out in it! At least the wind died down long enough to grill some chicken out back behind the shop under a carport and not in a direction that it pushed any smoke into the shop or at least not much.Yes, it’s raining here in Texas.
