I have a 1964 Caliente that I just bought. I am in the process of bringing her back to life :D

Welcome aboard! Plenty of advice and encouragement to be had here for free. Start a build thread and let us follow your progress. We love pics, too. Here's how to post them:

Photobucket is kind of slow. Some of use Postimage now because it's faster.

Ya, I kinda figured it must be an inside joke between y'all. I do agree with the 1964 being the sweetest of them all, hence the reason I got one. My father had one when he was a young man and I love the look of the Caliente. I'm gonna Cyclone hood/ram air and drop either a BB FE or a nice 408. Less work with the SB though. Anyone here you know of have done the sb to bb?

there's a couple went with BB,,,,IMO AND ONLY IMO...I'd stay SB,less weight less rotateing iron,and the car was made for it,,,but that's just OL POP's take ....it's yours ,do what ever trips your trigger or blows your skirt up 8) :lol: :wink: but good luck which ever way you go..........pop
