I love the car. I think you got one number wrong in your add. I believe the heads should be 391. The 291 head was for 1970.

Looks like nobody has had a punch on the bearing caps yet. Please don't put punch marks on the left bearing cap. The left cap carries most of the load and punch marks make weak areas on the cap.
