If you're keeping the original straight 6, then a swap for a T18 would be ideal. If not, a SBC and either a good manual like a 465 or 420, or a...
when filling with my MIG, I like to use a little less heat than needed for penetration and walk the puddle towards the opening, but I rarely weld...
[IMG] Dumb redneck moment, but ain't that spring supposed to be attached to somethin? or did I miss that part?
Most everything I touch made of wood desperately needs a coat of paint....
