Default Going to build one more...

It's been almost 15 years since my last Lamnas, and I'm not getting any younger, sooo....

Last year I found a rust-free '65 Lamnas near me for sale. PO had owned for maybe 5 years and had fun with it, but was time to go. If I'd been ready to buy a few years earlier, could've had a nicely restored Nightwatch Blue '65 GTO, but the timing wasn't right.

So I pulled the trigger on this one about a year ago....I'm not sure when the cloning was done...prior to the guy I bought it from, IIRC.

I made the deal for the car with no engine or trans....just a roller. It's rust-free and was a CA car until the PO bought it 6 years ago.

So, I found a virgin std bore 400 block recently disassembled and drug it home.
Going to poke it, stroke it, and try out a couple of new-ish HR cam lobes from CC
