Saw that Lynn (and thanks)
At the moment I have an early April block that's freshly machined and ready to go together with a balanced 302 assembly. I saw another car built 3 numbers off my VIN that was assembled April 30th and that to me would be an excellent date match if one can be sourced? I'm hoping to hold out for one with the assembly date closer to the end of April.
As far as the car having 355 gears, I agree that it would have been a dog out of the hole. Thinking the new 4:10 diff will have that licked now. Now I'll need to find bigger tires for the back to give it the right Day 2 stance and something that will hopefully hook up. Been looking at the Indy SS profiles, MT Sportsmans and a set of Pro Trac's. Might try for a set of L60 15 tires out back and a set of front runners for that old school look. Maybe mount them up of TT 8" and 4.5" rims
