Yep. Sure do.
65 and 78 are not tagged, but very driveable.
65 is my woodhauler. Short trips only anymore.


Several more sitting in the fence row for parts.

Started life as a 352
Wore that one out.

Installed a 428 I found and rebuilt. Put 150,000 on the ol gal and wore it out.
Installed a 390 that my son and I had overhauled that was in a 68 galaxy.
513 rearend, will pull anything. Kinda hard on gas though.
So I use it around the place only.

yeh, a 513 is pretty low geared. all bottom end but thats what you want for off the line pulling. i'm sure you'll get a few responses to your question after everyone's belly gets emptier
