Hello from SE Pennsylvania

Finally got a few minutes to say Hi. Been a member a few weeks now,and really enjoy the site. I have a '67 Barracuda convertible that I will be starting a restification on. Right now it has a 273/904/ 7 1/4". I am planning on using a '78 318 with a good freshening,and adding an aluminum intake,TTI headers, hotter cam(any recomendations are welcome) and a better ignition system. I will retain the 904,but go with an aftermarket converter of mild stall. I will also be adding an 8 3/4 SG with either 3:55 or 3:91 gears. I am also thinking of a spring relocation to fit an 8"-10" wheel.
I am looking for a weekend cruiser that will see some dragstrip action. It has to be a fun,streetable combo that can make a 200 mile drive to the beach(if I should ever feel like it) without taking out a second mortgage for broken parts.
I look forward to feedback as far as my goals and parts chosen for this car,as well as anything I might have overlooked. Thanks for the great site,
Sureshot43!
