Thanks Gus. My car is similar to yours, but is a 67 with the Rally wheels - same color. It is also a very nice car, and I just want to get it back to about the original HP - 325 or so, with a little rougher idle. Mainly a Sunday "Lets go get ice cream!" kind of car, and the occasional show. It is show worthy... The replacement engine does need to be gone through, as it has been sitting for 15 years on my buddy's engine stand and only turns over for about 600 degrees of rotation - then it stops dead. Only a couple of valves move, so I imagine a timing gear issue and a valve is hitting a piston. I haven't taken it apart, so I am not sure yet if I need to replace the pistons, but probably. I've got a 4 speed in it with a .355 posi rear end.
