Yea, that is the replacement. We rebuilt the head and gave it lots of new parts on the outside.
Now all you need is an old milk crate and one of these 
and you are ready to wheel!

Paint and body work is his business, side restorations are his hobby. You could not get the shop to do this kind of work, trust me.
When it comes time to see the paint, it will look better than new.

Even more things have found their way to the motor, including the radiator and undamaged intake/exhaust manifold.
The wheels are now powdercoated and tomorrow we should get a load of parts from cruiserparts.net.
