Hello 53 Chevy5, that Gentlemens opinion was spot on I made some inquiries about rebuilding it and yes it was very expensive! I grew up running around in A340 duster and it was a running little car. This motor is supposed to have a little bigger cam I'm putting headers on it and it has a 650 Edelbrock carburetor for it. So I think it will push me down the road okay. I think it will make a nice little dependable cruiser. My next plan of attack is the rear end and brakes. I'm leaning towards a bronco or explorer 8.8 Positrac rear end. I have to keep the drum brakes on the front for at least a couple more years and I was wondering if the bronco or explorer if they came in a drum or disc rear end, and if so which one would be better for my situation . So I'm looking for some different opinions on this so please weigh in if anyone out there as an opinion
