I am putting together a 1953 ****** wagon with a 350 sbc. I do not have any skill or experience but after owning the wagon for ten years and thinking about it. it is time to get things going.

I have purchased a former crate engine from my regular mechanic that was involved in an engine bay fire. Engine is in great shape , has exhaust manifolds, Eldebrock Performer intake, new 600 Eldebrock carb, Summitt HEI dist.. I still need all the extras, alt. starter, pulleys, water pump, and anything needed to get this running.

I will be using the existing T90 trans, transfer case, and focusing on just getting a running rig. Brakes, fuel lines, and anything else is still in the future. I have never worked on cars before and know nothing, gotta start somewhere. Any Bubbas out there who can guide me?
