When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread

So think I have 4 items left to correct:
1. VSS jumper cable for speedo. See broken one above.
2. Trick flow intake. I haven't done the swap yet. I will this weekend. I have to pull the old M1 and measure height. They are close but I need to make sure. Trick flow is 5.125 and M1 is 5.??? Then I need to drill and tap for the rear coolant crossovers. Then pick up some rust-oleum ford tractor red.
