| Fairlane replacing 'Stang |
| By Joe K. - 01/15/2004 10:11:25 PM; IP 68.119.62.217 |
Thanks for your input guys, I talked with the 'rents and they're gonna front me the $1200 (turns out the guy wants $200 more than I originally thought) until I can part out the '70 SportsRoof. I really wanted to fix my car, but the level of work that would be required is just too far beyond my level of expertise. Plus, I don't have the money.
I am excited about the '66 390 Fairlane 500 2-door hardtop. What exactly am I getting into? I've never owned a big block before (my 'Stang had a 302). It needs to be rebuilt, so other than upgrading to a 4bbl carb and intake, and headers, what would you guys recommend for a low-budget rebuild (i.e.-neighborhood of $2000).
What kind of power can I expect from an internally stock rebuild, with intake, 4bbl carb, and headers? Would that combo, without getting too radical, have street cred?
I'm thinking about how it will look...shiny Raven Black paint, polished, minimal chrome trim...throaty FE power...ahh...better get that ratchet out and get those parts off the 'Stang and on eBay.
All comments deeply appreciated by this 18 y/o FE novice.
