I think it comes to what do you want and how much money can you spend. Where should you spend your money.
I like originality , can I afford a 5 or 6 speed NO. So what do I do. I take my 915`S because I have them or do I spend about 1600.00 US for aluminum heads? I can get seats in my 915`s for way cheaper than buying aluminum heads. Put my money elsewhere.
In one of my posts I talked about my Uncles 66 365 Hp 300. Right now those 516 heads are on a 1972 440 in a 67b Charger. Street car.
It boils down to what you want.
In travelling with 67 Chargers since 1970, it appears that not many owners want to drive their car much over 350 miles to a Charger Meet. So if you are going to trailer your Charger, by all means spend the extra for a truck trailer to haul it and enjoy the car show.
Our car won’t be factory correct, but when people have seen them they give a thumbs up.
Enough boredom for now, maybe more later if I am not banned.
