ur dads a smart man. Keep saving for a rebuild if the motors gettn tired.

in the mean time, loose those mirrors, hubcaps and a leaf n the rear... cost=nothing.

then some cheap steel wheels/w/ retreads/used's....

paint.

if motors tired, save for a 4bolt rebuild, or have that one rebuilt. Just a cam and what not in that ol motor would be a waste of money.
dad will appreciate that, yea when I do rebuild the 350 I aint going to wild because I learned with my last engine build I built a 225 Plymouth slant six with a BBIIIGG cam, headers 4bbl intake .090 off the head, major port and polish, big valves and that broke my bank! I am going do a good back yard port and polish shave .010 off the heads and .020 off the block with 9 to 1 flat tops and a 350 horse 327 camshaft and a new q jet. I am not going overboard this time, and its a four bolt main motor.

woaaahhhh!!!! buy a welder and some steel!!! that thing looks like cheese!!!
yea I found a 84 bed in the junk yard that’s like brand new for 350 so I am going to buy that and a little MIG welder and some new rocker panels, cab corners, cab mounts, floor pans, doors and finders and that will get my body about right.
