I have been seeing early As pop up but dont know much about them, as in what parts interchange,whats available etc. isnt it true they dont make headers for that early a bodies? i also see htem with 318s etc, the 273 commando always seems to be missing... but yes they pop up for sale etc.

I think they make headers they just cost a butt load of cash. Yes most of the time the 273 is gone. We have had a ton of early a bodies and only 2 had the 273 and they was worse out so we replaced them with 318s it just easier to find .
 
Todays progress the motor and suspension out from the front of the car ready to go in the white car I have no idea what I'm going to do with the body of the convertible LOL
