First, check that everything on the front suspension is tight. Typically, you need

Thanks for those infos. Yeah wouldn't it be easier to get the full kit when I would do a full disc conversion ? When I viewed the car the other day the shocks were new along with pitmans. Can't remember on the idlers, tie rods need definite replacement.

Would you happen to have a reference link for the MOPAR arm on the holley dominator ? Trying to find this online .

I can't remember on those old manual steering boxes but whats recommended for fluid , grease or no thought I remember something like bearing grease ? Not to worried about the AC , it doesnt get warm enough here for that. Would most likely get the new heater core (because reasons) and hook up the lines.

As to the rear end (eyeball guesstimate) 7 1/4 , I think.

Since the car is at an importers

I agree with you here, however importing into Ireland is a nightmare, don't get me started on the insurance and other conditions. They crazy anyway, want to ban all new sales on petrol and diesel new cars in 2030.... Would way rather be back home in the USA anyway or source something there as you said (but atm reasons unfortunately). The car is in England so generally for Ireland its a wave through with a rubber stamp for the registration , keep in mind this is still pre-brexit, which is why now that window may be closing, haha . Also lots of part suppliers there in England so I may get lucky, fingers crossed.

The condition on final sale and in the contract for final purchase was to get the car road ready and safe to drive as it still has to pass road inspection to be drive able on roads and get registered tags for England before I bring it here. The only damn good thing about the road inspection they have over here is for situations like this. I have no problems doing all the extra stuff later i.e. conversions and later corrections as a buddy of mine has his own shop lift which he'll let me use.
