Man your beign a great help on this one. I havent really taken the time to research, look, anc price any of this out, ive been really buisy and lazy since i got it a few months back. Someone suggested that for the engine swap, i get a early ford truck with the 351. It would be really cheap, and i would just rebuild it. I think i could work with the mounts, or just fabricate them. For the rear end, im not sure yet. But i think im going to take your advice on the front brakes. Sounds like a good plan, alot cheaper than buying the 1200 conversion kit.

Oh, the car looks ok on the outside, but the inside is complete shit. Ive allready stripped out all the old moldy interior junk (i think this car has seen a lake...there was sand under everything, and there wasnt one part that wasnt watersoaked and moldy). I also found out that the car has been cheaply painted more times than i wanted to count. The last coat (red) was a paper thin coat with no primer, and what appears to be no clearcoat, just the OEM baby blue paint underneath. Thats the least of my worries now, id rather have a nasty car the drives good than a beautiful car that wont move an inch.

What do you think about the ford truck though? Ye or Nea? thanks
