My favorite boneyard guy in the local area was
pulling covers on 10 bolts looking for a 3.08 for
me when he came across a 2.73. It blew his mind.
The housing appears to be from a Chevelle.
Musta been a big block or something. He set it
aside and it is saved for me in case I ever make
too much HP that the 3.08 is not enough.
HA!
