Hey guys,
Great site. I have a '68 RS that I have had for 25 yrs and I am starting a complete resto. My numbers matching 327 disappeared years ago so I am going with the pro-touring approach instead of the all original approach.
I have acquired a 68 327/275 hp engine but haven't decided if I am going to use it or just put in in storage.
My car is blue with blue deluxe interior, factory a/c power steering 2.56 rear end.
I am definitely going to do the 4 wheel disc conversion but I am not sure which direction I am going to go with the drivetrain. My goal is to have a super dependable, AIR CONDITIONED, great handling and good gas mileage car since I plan on driving it a LOT.
I am also sure that I want to heavily modify the suspension and am debating on whether or not to change the subframe with something like the one Heidt's offers that is complete for around 4 grand.
I know the 2.56 gear needs to go if I run an overdrive tranny instead of the th350 I have now. I have been told a 3.55 would be ideal to run with a 700r4 and am seriously considering that route.
I welcome any input from you guys who have already put a lot of things to the test already.
Thanks, Tim Thompson
P.S. How do the 2" drop spindles work out for those of you who have them?
