He is located in Greensburg, Indiana, which is just southwest of Indy.  Great guy to work with.  Big into Mopar woodgrain steering wheel restorations, but does them all and has done many AMX/Javelin wheels.

Also, have the short block together, ready to install the 291C heads and R4B intake.  Engine coming along nicely.

Question............Is the water pump painted engine color or just as cast?

Same question for water outlet (thermostat housing)?

Also just can't decide what to do regarding a carb.  I know the 4300 was OE, but have heard nothing but horror stories about them.  Car won't be 100% stock anyway, so leaning towards 650 DP Holley or Quick Fuel, or 700/750 electric choke vac secondaries.

Water pump is painted engine color, Thermostat housing is bare aluminum.

I have 2 cars with 4300's on them, I love them both. The one on my 70 390 is the best running carb I have ever had. If you decide to get rid of yours, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. I like to have a few spares just in case.

Nice work on the quarter panels!
