nice car!

i hope you plan on putting some deeper gears in the axle so that the engine can actually operate in the rpm range that these parts are made to run in, otherwise it will be kinda pointless to do all this.


got any pics of the car ?

those old aerocoupes 77-80 are getting rare. i only know of one, a 77 impala now. that a buddy has.

good luck

Yes i do plan on that i have a set of Richmond 456 for it, a little steep but will be fun from stop sign to stop sign , i will post a pic. would still like some imput on the 400 build and what cam would work good with my bolt on items listed above

Thanks
James
