Good luck sounds like it will be great once you do all this.

They'll be checked but I can't imagine any warpage. To my knowledge the car wasn't really ran much after the early 90s and we certainly never let it melt down (overheating was another issue it's always had, which I blame on us never tuning it properly, an incorrect fan and or shroud, and probably a worn out radiator.)
As for any performance benefits I'm not really wanting to gain anything. I want it to have, distributor aside, the exact same set up it had for 40 years. It's a weird personal thing I guess- I want to know what this setup's really got in it. Pap never got the time to dial it in and dad and I don't have the knowledge so we never sorted it out. But when it ran close to correct I loved it.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
