Yep Will have a big one and a small one LOL. It is in fairly good shape.Need to find a driverside fender.And a set of engine perches for a FE,So I can get the 352 in it.Thinking about putting disk brakes and power steering on it too.Not sure what else.

i like seeing those old vehicles in the feilds, i have stopped and asked i dont know how many times, but the people will never part with them, i looked at a car one time a tree had grown through the engine compartment .. it was rusted beyond belief.. but the old guy wouldnt part with it, his grandson said he wanted it,,, nice snag

Nice looking project, congrats! :cheers:

Looks like that tool box in the bed is about one size too small. :lol:

from what I understand, the 240/300 perches are the same as the 352's. All you have to do is move them forward or backward(cant remember which one) on the crossmember. the holes are already there on the crossmember to move the perches

Yep you all ready have the correct perch, needs to be moved to the next set of holes and new FE isolators.

You will need a new bell and z bar for the FE.

Tannman, Looks like a nice starter, congrats. I have a nice front half driver side patch section here $20 + shipping.
If I'm not careful I'll start to sound like Georgia Pete, lol.
Be gentle with me guys just trying to clean out the garage without wasteing anything usable.
