I got it home and unloaded. It looks pretty good, so far. According to the fellow I bought it from, who is alledgedly the second owner, it has not been apart, and only has 97000 showing, and should be standard bore, albeit with a good bit of wear, as it smokes. It doesnt have any rod or piston noises, or even camshaft noise, just smokes a good bit. I also picked up a nearly new clutch and pressure plate, a bellhousing, and a set of G heads, pretty sure unposted, but I dont plan on any abnormally high compression, maybe 10.5 or 11:1. I got an extra oil pan to cut up into a T-pan also. This 312 is complete, except for the teapot carb which I let him keep. Probably should have kept that, but whatever. I got a C3 distributor that has had a Mallory Unilite module and rotor added, along with a set of NEW big fat 8 mm Mallory Pro Mag wires. Hopefully, this weekend, I can get it checked out, ready to commence...I love new cool stuff.
