SWEEEET! The right kind of insurance is a must. The one like yours ( only red ) to visit me was purchased from Hagery Insurance after the previous owner stuck right front to a bridge while being silly. The heavier nose will get away from you quicker than small block or slant 6.
If you want it to handle more like anything and everything else you have driven over past 25 years... Todays aftermarket suspension parts can get you there. Otherwise, turn those horses loose only in a straight line. These old girls could (and some did) get the muscle of but not the handling/control of todays vehicles. Macpherson strut changed the world, especially for unibody.
What Is MacPherson Strut Suspension And Why Is It So Popular?
Do share some details like what brakes it has under it, what diameter stabilizer bar, etc,, as opportunity comes about.
And by the way... Slant 6 is notorious for poking the #5 rod through left side of block.
happy moparing
