Wiley Wilhelm, '65 Crown V8 Project - Anchorage, Alaska
Just purchased a 1965 Monza coupe with Crown Conversion. Engine is a 283 with low compression. It has an Edelbrock Torker intake manifold and Holley carb. Running gear includes a 4 speed Saginaw transmission and an unknown axle ratio (haven't looked to see if it is posi yet).
Besides the bum engine the car needs a lot of bodywork. Nearly a complete car except it is missing the shifter adapter to go around the oil pan and some headlight buckets. Looking for info on shifter adapter for the Crown Conversion. Need to either make one or buy one if there is one to be had.

November, 2017 Update
Have purchased a 4.3l V6 to replace the tired 283 that's in the car just haven't had time to work on it.
April, 2018 Update
Pulled the 283 and sold it to finance more work. Looking to modify or build new frame for the 4.3L V6 and gain some legroom.
