Thanks, Jon. Let me start off with my 235 is solid and doesn't even leak. However I really want to be able to run with modern vehicles on the road. On my road to make that happen, I started with a disc brake conversion and now I'm looking at the driveline. I am also leaning toward going to an automatic transmission a th350. I have a Lokar shifter for a th350 that I would use.
My plan was start with the rear and work my way forward. Ending up with a mild no more than 350hp small block. But that's wear the question of the frame came in, as it is not fully boxed. I'm trying to figure out the best path forward
