Do you know if a bench from a 68 cornet would have similar internals?

I don't think a 68 has provisions for head rests like the 70 does.

What a great project and teaching vintage muscle and restoration of an iconic car to young kids! I'll go out on a limb when it comes to the engine suggestions and say "why not buy and build a 383?" They're cheaper and much easier to come by than 440's are...and it's a big block too! I'm not a fan of swapping in a modern Hemi, though. Teach these kids how to tune a carburetor.

Yeah, a 383 is cheaper than a 440 but costs the same to build while making less power when you're done. A difference of a couple hundred bucks on initial purchase is worth it to me.

We are building the 318 to have 400-450 horses!!!

It would be nice to get more than just a slight trickle of updates on this.
