this video is a little over a year old. this was the first time I fired up the 1980 262 Bertone with her new V8. I plan to do a walk-around video of this car in the spring time when it's out of storage. she's untuned in this video and it's running open headers.
The entire is a Gen 1 SBC. Casting shows 1970 truck engine.
it is a high compression engine on E85.
I have a ton of pictures of all the work I did to this buried in my Instagram account.
