I bought the car without engine/trans, so I picked up a 69 Pontiac 400 off of craigslist. The engine had been rebuilt, so I just clean it up with new coat of paint and it should be ready to go.
Also, looks to me the previous owner install a Chevy engine. Looks like a Chevy mount to me. Can anyone confirm? If so, does anyone have a set of Pontiac engine frame mount that is no longer needed?
I'm debating whether to switch to tubular arms or not. Looks like everyone is doing that. What's the advantage of tubular control arms, and why is such a difference in price. Classic Performance sells a set for less than $500, while sets from GW or Hotchkis sell for over $1000. I'm not real concern over factory looks, just aiming to improve performance.
That's it for now. Hopefully I can finish smoothing out the tail panel this weekend.
