BBC in a 3rd gen

Hot Rod Magazine actually did one of this in 1988, it was finished and written about in the May 1988 issue. It listed ALL parts they needed and used, along with part numbers....I found it was very informative. Just my 2 cents worth. (btw=I found it in their archives on their web site)
