I put a 327 with a Chevy truck 3 speed in a 3.4 Jaguar sedan back in the mid 1960's. The engine destroyed the rear end so Henry's narrowed an Olds rear end for me. Nice job. Then it started tearing out all the body spot welds.

The hood had louvers in it and when racing at night, the AFB would go lean, backfire and blow huge flames through the louver and onto the windshield.

Henry's did take their time getting things done.

I used a LB lawyer to get the single entry bonds to import the cars into LA/LB and spent quite a few times in the Orbit. Norm's too.
