Post by: Finally1 on 2014-07-09 07:04
Picked up a 1967 Parklane with 70,000 miles on it for the engine for my Custom .Its been sitting for 17 years due to a bad trans pretty well rusted away but im gonna yank the 410 go through it and decompression it a little for some supercharger action gonna be a blow threw want to make it somewhat resemble the factory stuff .

never realized the Merc 410 was an FE, live long enough  you learn things you should have known forever.

Picked up the ole gal this morning and the frame tore into on both side in front of the rear wheel wells .Im glad we took my buddies roll back would have been a task with the winch on the trailer since I dont have smooth ramps . Inside still pretty decent and has some really nice trim on it . Ole girl has power seat ,power windows and power disc brakes ,tilt wheel ,ac,cruise control .
