Cool project!

Awesome find!

Yeah, I'm sorta confused as well.

The car currently has 3.91's in it and I hate 'em. My old Satellite had 3.55's and I wasn't wild about those either. I want to be able to drive it on the highway. I guess if I have to back off on cam, I will.

3.55's? Lol

No, it's only been rough bored. It's a 4 speed car so no converter. I'm wanting to run 3.23's. Headers and Flowmasters for exhaust. I want a fairly aggressive sounding cam. It's not a drag car so I guess I really don't have any preference on RPM ranges. I just want it to be fun when I want to...

Awesome! Thanks guys!

For sure!

I'm loving this thread! Awesome work so far!

That's exactly what I plan to do with it. Some weekends, car shows, etc but then I will get squirrelly every once in a while and want to run it through the gears. It will never see the strip or anything like that.

Well, like I said, I'm already at .060" over so I'm stuck between an $800 set of .060" over 426 pistons or go another .010" and go with a $300 set of stock 440 pistons.

Any particular reason why? Even if it sonic tested ok? I just tried Keith Black and they're a "No".

And "AFTER":

Between purchasing a second business and renovating the house, progress has been a bit slow. I sent the grill and the headlight surrounds to Special T's Unlimited and had them restored. They were pretty nice but not show quality by any stretch. They stripped them, removed all scrapes and dings...
