    That is a very nice car, slow or not lol. Does it still have the original rear end ratio + tall rear tires?

    It now has 3.73 rear gears so it is about the same as stock with the taller tires.

    Probably a stroker and maybe A/C. Have availability of a factory a/c heater box so may do that. Mainly plan to drive and enjoy. Interior is being redone at this time with cloth inserts with factory style pleats on bench seat.

    Sounds good. A comfortable seat is something creeping up my priority list...well, lots of things creep up it lol, but comfort certainly would give me more reasons to drive it. And humidity makes AC rank high IMO.

    That is the reason for cloth inserts, figure wont be as hot if I don't do air right away. Will have to look for the Ocala guys being I am just north of gainesville
