I'm sure that there will be pictures coming soon from some of the experts here. Parts can be had at Rex Marine, Casale V- Drive, JJ Fab, Superdave etc. Good luck with the project.

I have a few pics on my resto. site. I have many more that are not on the site. Please be aware my deal is a typical circle race install. Your Hondo will have more of a drag race intall.
Let us know if you need help on specifics.

Go to my profile and check the pics of my Daytona and D'Cucci, again they are circle boats, but you can get basic ideas!..

I didn't put the 396 in I used the 502. It runs good. Do you know what gears where in the v drive?.
