You might want to think about big bore - 2130 cc and maybe a

75 240 electronic ignition system.

Probably will want an M41 tranny. I'd use the old shifter top

to avoid tunnel surgery.

Chances are good you'll need to do some corrosion repair to the

floors and reseal the windshield (where the water leaked in

and soaked the mats under the floormat, making acid that eats

floors). Floormats are expensive, btw.

Look closely at the lower rear of the front fenders and the

bottoms of the doors. May require corrosion repair at those

points, especially if the door drains are stopped up.

My opinions on valve springs - single is enough. I'm a lead-footed

driver and rarely float valves. I use the IPD/Isky street performance

cam and the IPD lifter/pushrod kit. I also don't think a header is

enough better than a late FI exhaust manifold to warrant the expense,

relatively short lifespan and other problems involved. I only use

one muffler though.
