Ok thanks a lot guy's. Yeah either way I think I would have just replaced all the bolts anyways. If I get a used engine then I am hoping I won't have to change out the crank or nothing just a piston rebuild kit, new heads, carb and all the electronics like starter, etc. As soon as I put my floors in my car and my rocker panels then I am going to set the body on the frame, get my engine set the ride height, etc then take the body back off and tub it out and work on the engine. Right now I am just trying to get the floors done and the chassis done front to back. I need to find out what I will do with my steering box. Any ideas on how I can tell if my steering box is still good? I will probably buy everything new for the steering besides the box since the guy said it's still good but the column, etc is rusted and really old and I am hoping everything will clear with a big block. Also to answer Techinspectors question, I will have the master cylinder under the car on the chassis since there are the mounting holes there already, I just need to see if there are brackets you hook up to those holes or what. Also if I do that then any idea where the booster goes? I have been reading my auto tech book from school on the steering and brakes but it just basically says things on what the parts are and how they work. Sorry for so many questions and all but I need to figure this out so I can start buying my brakes and all and I don't wan't to buy the wrong things here.
I will go to borders and look at the books you guy's mentioned and check them out and see how I like them and then either buy them their or look on the net for a cheaper price.
Thanks again!www.streamlineautocare.com
If you wan't something done right, then you have to do it yourself!
And from here in the Ozarks a Happy 4th of July
