No apology needed Johnny. I'm the same way about my Vert. I've heard so many saying 455 it or resto-mod it, and its just because it's a base OHC 6. Yes it's a low value convertible, but it's mine. It would probably be worth more with a V8, 400 hood and all the frillies. At most I may eventually install a Sprint 6 engine I have. But that's a long way off. It's your car, build it your way.
