    My 400 Regal build

    I agree, but free and offy dont come often. The motor was designed for Vortec heads, so my Vortec carb intake matches much better. Ac will be gone but I do want defrost.

    Whats the best place for front speakers ?

    From my history with car audio (about 4 years deep into it - way too much money spent) it looks like the previous system was an attempt at infinite baffle set up.
