those appear to be standard "acorn" style rallye caps. 72~74 i think?

wow, what a handsome machine! love that the interior is tastefully updated. very, very cool! what's it powered by?

i'd yank the valve covers off and see how bad everything might be. should give you a pretty good picture of what the rest would look like. if that passed the sniff test, i'd pull the plugs and squirt some MMO in the cyls and bar the motor over by hand real easy. make sure it's not clunky and...

spending money on a whole bunch of stuff that sits in boxes and collects dust in a room would just bum me out when i came come from months on the road. reaching goals and seeing results keeps me motivated. i'd be kinda bummed out if i rolled back into town ready to rock and roll on my...

just curious, but what's your budget and timeline for completion like? i ask this because sometimes a compromise of just getting the thing together and running and racing and then thinking about a monster motor can be a way forward that has a easier and more realistic goal. this produces a...

if the car wasn't originally a V8 you'll need the specific 64~66 V8 center link to clear the oil pan. exhaust is going to be expensive, and the options are kind of limited tti, doug's, sanderson or fenderwell headers. you'll need to notch the torsion bar brace/trans brace for dual exhaust...

man that thing is awesome! i'd start a new thread in general discussion on it. sure to get plenty of help on bringing it back to life. just an FYI, check your wheels. after 68 some are and are not split types, i just had a hell of a time with my 71 D300 replacing tires/upgrading wheels.

if somebody needed it right then and there, a smooth G would be a real good deal coming and going. but likely, open market is sub 1K it's cool that it's a roller motor, but the rest is smogger garbage. so basically you're buying a question mark short block and trans that's been sitting. both...

i think the Q-jet is just cooling it on top there. in the other pic it looks almost like a 2bbl mounted. anyway, a complete 360 core isn't a bad thing to find. especially if you don't have to hunt one down and go to the yard and pull it.

anything beyond stock requires floor surgery, how much and how extensively you need to mod the trans mount depends on the power transfer unit of your choosing. (the easy button here is a gearvendors unit) the rally dash is its own beast. the frame itself is different from the standard dash...

it's a slant car, so really you could go in any direction. selling the 340/trans combo to fund out part of a G3 swap or holding onto it for a future build is always a possibility. in the interest of building something that would probably appeal to the widest base, i'd say keep the 340 and go...

question: what's the vin & fender tag say? because if that's a true 340 car and the motor/trans are numbers matching, then that could take the build in a totally different direction.

hi-impact colors are hot right now, so you've got that going for you. it seems that buyers are leaning back toward more traditional type cars-- standard V8's with carbs or EFI over G3 swaps. stick v auto is a long drawn out battle, but i don't see any one being a hotter trend than the other, at...

Welcome from another angeleno!

2nded super six intake with a carter bbd, doesn't get much easier than that in terms of install and bang for the buck. convert to throttle cable. see if you can round up the throttle bracket/linkage/kick down, if not, fab that up. hide it all underneath any kind of stock air cleaner. only a...

know going in that anything you change or modify WRT the carb linkage/operation you will need to address the transmission kickdown. failure to do so will wreck the transmission. verify the carb, intake and throttle actuation (cable v rod). a lot can change in 50 years.

you're still going to have to fabricate throttle brackets and kick down! you're STILL going to have to switch to cable operated throttle if you're on the OG throttle rods. questions: 1- is the car manual or automatic transmission? 2- is it stock with rods or has it been upgraded to cable for...

going to a super six set up won't affect anything in the vein of "preservation of the car". it's all on the motor. BUT you will have to upgrade to a throttle cable and not throttle rod if the car hasn't been done so already. as RRR said, if you can't find or don't want to pay the $$$ for the...

it's essentially as close to a bolt on performance upgrade as you're going to get, so long as you have all of the correct peripheral components. if you're still throttle rod, you'll need to upgrade to cable to begin with. the carbs are oriented differently, hence the need for different...

the 2bbl carb is the path of least resistance, but know going in that the throttle cable bracket will need tweaked/modded or fabbed up. the same for trans kick down if you're running an auto. the super six set up with electronic igniton and a well tuned engine is a nice combo. if you've got a...

oh yeah, you could boogie down in the driveway real easy getting it up and going. a long weekend of wrench swinging would put that on the road. still gonna be out something like a G though; tires are gonna set you back half that to start. hopefully the brakes, tank and radiator aren't waxed...

because you're not doing the work yourself, getting this up and running and roadworthy will probably set you back a few grand. it's got good bones and it's super clean. a great candidate for a V8 swap if you want to splash the cash. a bucks down V8 swap would run you about 10K easy money. a...

what's your end goal on the car? are you trying to turn a profit now or at some point in the near future? do you want to build something out and try and get mega bucks for it? do you just want a fun cruiser and flip it when you're tired of it? do you want a V8 muscle car that you're going to...

agree with george on the digital dash. it won't add anything to the bottom line and may be a turn off to a potential buyer. here's a few comps, not that i agree on the pricing and not that people are always getting what they're asking...
