To daily drive, or not....

Thanks all. agree RPMs is an issue. Right now the car is 3:50 geared (Ford 8inch) 245/60/15s so that's not too terrible. Not ideal either, easily changed
Manual steering which is fine.
Yeah road noise.
..
brakes right now are small 73 duster manual discs. not great, but upgradeable easy enough

Has fat Hotchkiss sway bar front and rear, new PST stuff all around.

I'm not worried about making tons of power-
Car has manifolds with 2.5" exhaust all the way to the back (flowmasters I think- not too droning)

Sound deadening / brakes/ maybe some seats....
