Dan - You are right, the 318 Poly in my Convertible is a two bbl. Rated 240 HP but it will flat light up and burn rubber, lots of torque.

We (Matthew) do not only work on the engine but we do the whole package. He also worked on the rear window defroster that is now ready to go in. And he did some amazing work on the headlights as well, it all looks like new 8)

And more amazing work by Matthew, while I was busy painting ceilings and all the woodwork in the living room and kitchen he started finishing the front of the car with a little help every now and then. No headlight rings on it yet, first we need to make sure the beam is aimed right. He did clean up all parts first and everything he put on was spotless!!
