I like how you think. I've been thinking along the same lines for a few months now for my GTO. Two classics that constantly need (or I want) something aren't making that easy. My rear main is leaking, as is my oil pan. It runs great now, so I'm not inclined to pull it. But, I want a more aggressive cam and I'd like to go roller... but if I'm going to do it, I want aluminum heads.... I could keep going, but you get the idea.

The car looks great. I'm sure you'll get the leak fixed... one way or the other.
