Plans for the car? Well, either spend alot of money or hardly any at all. Not sure which yet. But most likely, I'll find someone to make the body solid and paint it the original dark green color. I was lucky enought to get all new interior parts with the car to include seat buns, seat covers (original type from Legendary in Gold), headliner, two new carpets ( he said they just sent two, he doesn't know why), and new door panels for drivers and passenger side. I also got two new sunvisors (white), new sill plates, and new inside door handles. Outside the car I got two new door handles and the hood inserts. Underneath I got new front suspension parts ( bushings, ball joints, etc..) and a nice big sway bar. All that stuff goes on the car along with a new dual exhaust system. ( I don't have that yet and am open to recommendations). As for the engine compartment, I'll probably cruise the lil' 273 around while I put together a new motor. I have a 440 on a stand that has never been fired.It's got steel crank, TRW forged six-pack pistons, Scat I beams, Hughes hydraulic cam, and some closed chamber 67 440 heads with new 2.19/1.88 Ferrea valves and Hughes springs along with Crane Gold Rockers, Street Dominator intake and a 850 Holley. Moroso pan is for a early B-body so it won't fit. That's option #1. OR, I have a '78 E58 360 that is torned down and looks good. For this motor I have collected so far the following new parts ( currently littering my Family room): Eagle 4" cast crank, Probe Forged pistons (10.3 with 62cc) and Total Seal Moly rings, Scat H-beams, and some Edelbrock RPM heads. So! Having said that, I could go 440 RB or go 408 Stroker. Or just cruise the 273. Decisions, decisions!! What do you guys think?
