Yes actually I have Brian.
Just completed assembly earlier this week and it's resting on the stand...nice little 388 SBC stroker w/mild HR cam and Dart Pro I heads. All it lacks is valve covers.

Probably never going to find it's way under the hood of the Sprint though...got a buddy that's wanting this engine BAD!! Has called me 3 times last week and is willing to pay a premium price for it too.

This is the 2nd engine I've recently built but never made it to the Sprint.
The 350 HO 330HP crate motor I duplicated using Vortec heads & GM's HO cam now resides under the hood of a NICE '65 Malibu SS convertible.

I've had some persistent people, but I have no issue telling them no. But, I suppose if you are in no hurry... start planning the next build.

To be honest...the most enjoyment for me comes from putting together different, thought out combos and then getting to fire them up for the 1st time.
That Vortec headed 350 in the '65 is amazing. Reach in and just touch the key and it fires right up...warm or cold.
Very crisp throttle response...

Hey Bill ,you want to build another one ?I think I hurt our motor in the very badly last year when we left the Ohio show and got watery gas .We just got home tonight from traveling the country with Chuck and I think one of my cylinders is almost dead .It may be time for another crate motor.
