Great advice Steve. Too often restorers will collect a bunch of parts without a total plan. Look at the big picture and determain if it is within you're ability range and budget before proceeding otherwise your project will never get finished. A very nice driver which can be accomplished with minimal expense is a 235 engine and a Patricks 3.55 rear. If you want to spend another $1000 you could add a Saginaw 4 speed trans.
