What I mean by a project car is one that needs major body work, sorry I didn't explain that. I don't mind a little engine work but what you said I agree with you 100%. I may very well enjoy the car as it is. Once the car is home is to go over it, brakes, exhaust, etc. You guys have been very helpful and patient with me and I thank everyone.
You say mild and 318 now as you start your journey who knows where it might go, I'll try to buy things that will work on later possible upgrades you might end up want to do later.
Good exhaust carb intake gears heads etc.. Will work great over a wide range of engines if picked well.
