30/30 duntov solid cam (thats early 60's Corvette for you youngins)

Of all the improvements that have come along since the 60's that I don't care for, cam grinds are the one thing I strongly recommend you go with something a little more modern. The gains in performance from improved cam technology are worth it.

And but some things like the rumpty rumpty clackety clackety of that cam are PRICELESS

Proppy Josh would give up his motor when they pried it from his hands...

(RIP Charleton)

That bait tank hole

looks a lot like an outboard powered boats butt with the "floor" cut out of the hole. It's where the outboard engine's cables and fuel line sit. When was it converted to a jet drive and who did the work? If it's a conversion that is.

Besides, that is to far away for a beer cooler. You can't reach that from the front seats.
