Nice looking Cougar.I'll be looking forward to updates.I myself,as we all know,am building a car as well (the Sport),and it's been a real challenge,but enjoyable.I wouldn't trade it.

I'm saving all the dirt, twigs, acorns, bugs, trash, papers, leaves, used condoms under the seats (j/k they were still in the wrapper,lol) and dumping all of it on top of Bill's nice shiny Chevy Caprice HAHHAHAH

Looks like a good start.

Should have some motivation when it's all together.

Recommendation, don't piss around with any iron head... Get a set of E'brocks, Trick Flows, GT-40, etc... If you want to go all out the 185 AFRs are a killer street head on a 351... For the money, T Flows are hard to beat and with a full exhaust system you probably cant tell the difference in any of the above... Don't settle for less than the 2.02 intake valves...

What you think about this Tom,  I was going to run the edelbrocks I have already 2.02/1.60 (60359), cobra upper, 75mm tb, 30lb injectors, lightning mass air, a9p chipped for 30#ers from bills old setup.

I was going to find a 351w gt-40 lower

Only question is cam, I have a tfs stage 1 would that run good with this combo or is there better out there. Also when I get the 351 redone what piston and compression ratio should I shoot for.
