Engine installed on the K Frame. Also found the build sheet in the rear seat. Its actually in great shape!

Good looking package!

I don't like being that guy, but that build sheet is marked BP23 not BP27!

  How close is the VIN?  white leather interior - is that a match?  a hardtop broadcast sheet found in a convertible rear seat sounds a little odd

I don't want to be "that guy" either @Cuda_mark but your front brakes are mounted on completely wrong. You have the left side on the right, etc...the calipers hang off the front on an E Body. You'll need to remove the spindles, swap over the lower ball joints in order to correct the problem. PITA because the rotors have to come off again to get at the lower ball joint bolts etc....

I just assumed that it was for my car since it came out of the rear seat but, yeah...after further review, the car came with burnt orange interior and the sequence number is off by quite a bit.

If anyone knows the car that matches the build sheet, let them know it's been found!

@anlauto No worries Alan. That's one of the reasons I post pictures on this site...so I can get the expert advice from guys like you that do this professionally. I'd rather have you pick up on that now than after it's in the car. So, by all means, keep being "that guy"

Looks like a nice car B7 blue Grand Coupe with white interior and white top

Not a ton of progress lately but the exhaust manifolds are back from powder coat and oversprayed. Also reinstalled the brakes correctly....thanks to @anlauto

Make sure you take the 4 speed rods off before you install the drive line and if your going up thru the bottom, it's much easier if the valve covers are off and the steering box unbolted and strapped to the side of the engine.

The Hemi looks awesome !!
looks like 2 Cudas in the shop
Too bad the build sheet is not for your car

@HEMICUDA Thanks for the advice. Hopefully the drive line goes in soon. Need to address a few minor things with the engine first.
