Update 9-16-2016
All the parts have been ordered and should start trickling in over the next few weeks. I went back and forth on alot and finally decided on the below. The valuable lesson in all this was what I thought I wanted ended up not being exactly what I wanted.....I would still buy this same car 5 times over again but now it is time to make it my own. Many of the below items were wear and tear but there is just as much personalization taking place. I think it will be a very tasteful car that should ride better and have a bit more power when done. I could have left the car as is and it probably would have gone for years but it would have driven me insane the way it was setup.
*1 7/8 set of headers needed to being fabricated,
*15" wheels with 325-50-15 rear and 255-60-15 front
*For now going to stay with the TKO600 .82 in the car but going to 3.91 rear gear
*3" ID side pipes
*Edelbrock polished water pump,
*Polished Vic Jr. Intake
*New Comp cam specified by Blykins
*New Cloyes timing chain setup
*Brodix heads being gone through by Craft racing
*While the motor is out going back with all new gaskets and rear main seal
*Replace the kinked speedo cable and match new speedo gear
*New shift boot
*Replacing the blue/red AN fittings found at
oil cooler and under hood with polished
