Time for an update... Over the last two weekends I've tried to re-fit the motor but it didn't fit. It turns out the plate that I had welded into the crossmember was out by 1/8" which caused the motor to not drop into place. So Saturday of this past weekend was spent doing the hokey pokey with the motor. I took it out, did some griding and persuading, put the motor back in, took it back out, welded, then put it back in:
I also offered up the rad panel, rad, and cold air ducting:
The rad needs a spacer made up to allow it to be bolted to the rad panel and space it forward a bit. The rad is one of the cheap ones from Ebay, and I know why they're so cheap, they don't fit right out of the box. Oh well, not a big deal, with spacing it forward I can sneak a cooling fan on the backside.
Other than that, I removed the rear window and filled the holes on the hatch:
And spent the bulk of Sunday afternoon sanding and filling. I've spoken to the paint shop, and the car will be dropped off with them at the end of the month. So that means the next two weekends will see a lot more body prep.

I don't know too much about the Twin-Cam though. Mostly what I read.
When I was much younger, there was a Twin Cam in the garage, unfortunately dear old dad never finished it and sold it to Peter Welch. He completed the resto, but it now just sits amongst his collection. Which is nice, but also a shame, as the collection never really gets driven.
