Enough with the research...

I love it. I understand completely mine is a rusty mess too and I don't really have the money to do it correctly. So I'm just doing it my way. I'm learning as I go mistakes and all. I have changed engine plans about 3 times but finally have a good plan and stinking to it. What are your engine plans?
Drivetrain plans as of now is to get what's in it running. I think it's a 340 with a cam (my brother had it running before I bought it), with a727, 8 3/4 rear. I have a '75 360 and 727 from a motorhome I parted out about 5 years ago, ran good. Last resort, I have a '74 318/904 setup I drove 180 miles home last summer in a '74 Dart more-door. That car was the donor inner front clip car (frame rails, torsion support, inner fenders as a unit).
