THis is great info, I have been looking into the same process myself. talking with a few performance mechanics in my area. When the time comes to rebuild my motor I will be posting all of it on my website as well. The one guy I know has done work for NASCAR. He will more then likely be doing the convertions on the block for me. probally new cam and pistons and who knows what else. I am hopeing to really discover and learn what mods the engine is capable of haveing done to it. I will definetly pass along any and all info to the group. This is a few years down the road of course. I hope to be able to contribute what I learn. It should be very exciting. One thing I have learned so far is before you get into a restoration be sure to DO YOUR HOMEWORK! I've learned alot from the Vixen site and other site like it. Todd Vin5386 --- "C. C.
