    Project `54 Chevy truck with an evil twist

    Just one thing I noticed as I was looking through the Pictures, something you may want to consider... Behind the intake manifold on the block there are two sensors (for sure there is one). If my memory serves me right, they are the cam position sensor and the oil pressure sending unit...
