[Chevelle-list] 68 Convertible Lt1

[Josh Egler]

Mike,

Thanks for the compliments.  I did rebuild my Lt1 back to stock.  It is a
iron head out of a 95 Caprice.  It should make for a great driver with fuel
injection and an overdrive transmission.  I will try and get some more
pictures this week and post them.
