I plan to restore the 1947, and while i am doing that the 1949 will be my daily so it will be getting a few upgrades so i can stay up with traffic and have no problem driving on highways. I plan to use a 283 for its powerplant with a turbo 400 that i already have. It will get lowered down a little with the solid axle and blocks in the back. Nothing that cannot be undone. I am not too excited about getting involved with the 1949 much. Just make it a driver that wears a presentable coat of paint.
