I took it to an engine builder to go through it as my next project was to set it up in the car and get it running. I located a rear sump oil pan and pump pick-up from Russ Martin in Grass Valley. CA. The engine is at the builder's now. but hasn't been opened up yet. I have added a scan of the Rod & Custom article's first page. In the photos the motor is set up on home made motor mounts. but I also have Buick mounts from Russ Martin. The interior is stock '55 Buick that had been dyed black including the headliner. The rear seat is out. and both seats will need re-upholstery. Dash is intact with "redline" speedometer. Original steering wheel. The photos of the rear end were taken before the parts were sent to be powder-coated. The rear end is back in the car with a positraction 3rd member from Speedway Motors Speed Shop.
