$3500 sounds like way too much money for a car in that cad of shape. I have had to repair the winsdhield area on my 69 and I can tell you it's not an easy task. I bought a 69 almost identical to the one you describe, 6 banger, 3 on the tree, and I paid $200 for it. I took all the good parts that

An

3500 sounds like a lot to me. I'd probably go 2500 for that setup. I'd keep the 6 cyl but run the 396 for fun driving until I wanted to go back to original and show it.

Very nice work Herb.
I like how you fabbed the filler piece with the "X" shape
to match the factory ribbing on the drivers side
little touches like that make a big
difference.

Thanks for the responses. I will take all of the advice under consideration. I will either turn them down past the tires and angled like Dale suggested, or--I will turn them down past the bumper. Will sleep on it.

Thanks. Send me the pics at your leisure. Incidentally, please tell me about the 40 series flowmasters. They have two types. They have the original 40 series, and the 40 Delta Series which are supposed to be quieter inside the vehicle.
The real question I have for you is do you consider the 4
