Possible engine (It may take some work to make it fit, so I will just
mock it up for now and not build it)
The coveted D0VE heads for those of us who
cannot afford cobra heads
Note the intake port size, you can almost fit a
racquet ball in there
Standard dual plane intake and 4BBL carb, valve
covers, bags of bolts, etc.
The block in its glory (with the pistons and
timing cover in the background), it is a D1VE 6015-AA block from 1970which is
a 429 CobraJet block number, but the webs are thin, unlike a true CJ block.
I am willing to bet that the 460 casting number
on the back here is not found on a true CJ block either ^_^
