Hi. I just found your build. Very nice! Here's mine. I robbed a "396" out of a mid-60s AMT Corvette. Yes, I know it's possible for the kit engine to be a stroker 396, but it still looks like a 283. The Corvettes aren't that hard to find. Here's mine. Yes, I'm still working up the nerve to try BMF. But I did just find the Molotows at my local Hobby Lobby last week.
