Jim, Congrats on the new car. I didn't get a message to call you unless you left it on the machine. Sorry, sometimes the machine is very hard to hear and I can't get all the info. The first thing to check on the car is the registration. Ca. is getting very tough on cars registered as a 1965. Have you done the transfer yet? If you do a search on this site for SB100 information you will get the full story on what is happening.

The roll bar is unique to CR. We do stock them. It's not hard to install but you need to be very careful with a painted car to avoid chipping the paint.

That is the typical location for the mirrors.

We have the hood and trunk latches.

You can buy the wheel from Finishline. 1-888-436-9113

You could switch to the 5" leMans style cap but it is designed to fit into a recess in the body. It would look funny to mount it flush so I would stay with the 3".

You can get the shifter for the T5 from Finishline but I wouldn't guarantee it will work. I think it comes to close to the dash. It's very easy to make one for that trans.

The tranny should have a tag on it. If it's a T5 it will have 7003 somewhere in the series. Otherwise it's probably a Tremec trans.

The 302 may be a crate motor but who knows from where. Stock hp on a 302 was about 190 to 210 for the older engines. It's a very easy swap to put in a 351w. The 351w heads on the 302 isn't much of a gain so I wouldn't bother unless you are going to upgrade many other components. It's no problem getting around the 400hp range in the 302. It just depends how big your wallet is.

p.s. J.T. Toad, what was the meaning of your message. Has Ed contacted you about your roll bar?
