That would be my recommendation. BTW, his was red, too!
Ahhhh yes, the '68-'69 Fastback Torinos - I had a '68 390GT which I used a 406 Tri-Power from my long past '63. And a hydraulic 427 4bbl cam (yep, they did make 'em). Oh yeah - it was fast, especially when you could wind the speedo all the way around and back to zero - nahhh, not me, that was illegal
