<VV> Performance Engine Mods

[Dave Keillor]

Yep, the engine came out of my '69 coupe (I'm the original owner).  The car
has been sitting in my garage since the last 30 years and it's time to get
it back on the road.  Probably sell my '66 convert to finance the job.
 
Maybe I should put the original back in and find a used one to modify.  Or
maybe I should just part out the car -- posi, quick box, telescoping column,
rear defroster, rust-free body, etc.  No, no, no, I was just kidding!!!
I've put up with it in my garage for too long to do something like that!

Wow a really low mileage stock engine. That is a rarity. I'd suggest that
you keep it or sell it as such. It's valuable. If you are thinking of
rebuilding an engine, please do it to a worn one. Get a used 140 hp eng and
then rebuild it with the mods you mentioned.
