68 l78...
If the motor runs well it is a bargain, it would cost twice that gather the correct parts and build it.

Wonder if 1.88 exhaust valves were put in the 840 head?
And I bet that it is a 1980 CFD 291 head?

If $3500 was a good deal.....then $2900 must really be stealing it.....cause that’s the current price.
