Thanks for all the replies. This is a retirement dream I have at least 3 years till then. But this gives me something to look forward to. Back in my 20's a buddy and I built a back half duster but never ran it much between work and family. I have always wanted to chase points at my local track just to see how good I could do. So I bought this body 12 years ago and figure I better start something or I will be 65 before I have it done. I'm going with mini tub ladder bars and dbl adjust shocks on rear. Not sure on front I have a old mustang 2 front end, buying a new front end or just coil overs like DVW said. My goal is consistency and easy as can be to work on. Going to start with my old 440 driveline and see how I do. I do have a couple other 400 blocks if I really want to get serious. I never really messed with small blocks but I can see where they would be easier and lighter, but will stick with BB. Thanks for ideas and support
