You're gonna love it as a little street/strip car. The early As can be a pain to work on in the tiny engine compartment (headers are a pain) but they make for nice, lightweight race platforms. If yours is an original slant car, you'll need a V8 dropped center link and small block motor mounts (Schumacher for those), but that's it. A 727 will fit, but a 904 fits easier. Hooker 5208s (semi fender well), TTI and Doug's have headers for the early As. Or turbo charge it like I did and just use magnum truck manifolds. Enjoy. Boomer!
