No its not a 7.5 either! Its the 429 not the 440.......the docs on the vehicle hadn't been updated correctly!

Parts are cheaper though and he's dropped the price down to £145 for me too

if 429 then pre 1967

Thats what the brochure said though diff ratio wise on the 429, seems to be about the same size as the RV8 just a bit heavier! Engine was way ahead of its time from what I'd read up on anyway

well get the motor and find serial number then we can figure out what you need. You might get lucky and a flywheel off the 427 or 454 might fit the end of the crank
