I'd be very happy with where you are at. The 408 stroker combo is awesome with a good set of heads and a solid roller but it will rip your car apart without having the frame ties and a roll bar. That was pretty much the demise of my Valiant although it was a four speed.
It looks like you will have a good car for a little road tripping.
If you end up short on any odds and ends give me a shout and I'll overnight stuff if I have it/can find it.
Get to work!
We want burnout pics! ... in a ritzxy neighborhood too.
