Re: 69/72 Restoration/Rebuild (we ain't scared)
Not the best, but also not the worst I've seen. Everything can be corrected. Just cost money, what's you plan for redo., original, or modified or something in between? Good luck and keep us posted......Jim

Stay organized and focused (you probably know that already). Looks like you have some work ahead of you. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Re: 69/72 Restoration/Rebuild (we ain't scared)
Fast Willie is right IMO. I would go with an SFI approved Harmonic Balancer and an Electric Fan, If performance is your goal. Ditching the flex fan will free up a few extra HP as well.
