In July, we picked up this fresh rebuilt 406 with an early Corvette dual quad setup on it from an estate sale. I bought the entire contents of the garage, and told him to sell everything he can and when I get my money back, the engine is his... so he'll be into this for nothing. I also gave him access to my parts hoard to put together everything needed to put a Saginaw 4spd in it.
I got a nice pair of Tri-5 Appliance headers with 4-bolt flanges for free, so I gave him those, and picked up a cheap Hurst shifter to fit the Tri-5 w/ bench seat at the Jefferson swap meet.
We're putting together a pretty nice vintage drivetrain on a high-school budget.
