I did. I am posting them from my phone, and the pictures on the phone are tiny. I'll try to find it and get it posted. The engine was all black. I don't know what color Merc engines were, I thought they had gold valve covers, while the Ford ones were blue, but it's been years.....

I think you are correct, Greg. Kind of like the Old's covers were gold.

The Olds 350's were gold, the 455's were blue.

The engine compartment was not as nice as the outside, so I'm guessing he wasn't done yet. It ran a real metal six-blade fan, but it had an aluminum radiator. Somebody did a very nice job doing the conversion. I think he said the original engine was a 332.
