Bout to start my first project looking for some help

[789]

Hey guys I'm starting this build on my own and I've wanted to do it since I was young considering my dad had it in highschool and it just has day around since then but it's a '72 2wd long bed with the original 402 and turbo 400 my biggest question is who can I take this engine to in TX to get it checked out and possible bored out just enough to make it right don't want a drag truck ! Second question is I'm kinda lost thinking about what wheels to go with I am going back with the original paint (medium red/white top) and I've got a wood bed I'm going to put on it so I've been thinking steel wheels with beauty rings but I kinda want the hot rod look with the back wheels a little bigger but I'm looking for opinions! Thanks
