to make the ‘76 Ford Torino - “Starsky and Hutch Tv serie”

A quick look inside the box:

The cars used for the TV series were equipped with the 152-HP 5.8-liter Windsor V-8 engine for non-chase and non-stunt scenes, while the stunt cars were equipped with the 6.5- and 7.5-liter V-8s.

Here are the various stages of engine assembly:

Nice choice Rod, should build up well.

 

Is the oil fill and PVC valve molded to the valve covers? They are in the wrong place. Should be right front and left rear.

I would have to say #3.  But it’s hard to tell looking at it in the jar.  I would do a spray out on some spoons with the same primer first.
