Nice, thanks clutch. I need to install my new 2" lowering springs and lower control arms, then I'll tackle the manual swap. So many things I need to do with this car right now it's getting overwhelming haha

The specs for that W30 cam are actually quite rowdy for 72, 294/296 .472/.472, should have a nice little chop at idle and run on regular.

Yesterday I was at custom carberetor rebuilder to pick up the carb for the 78 and Phil and I were discussing this build and of course all my cors. lol any how we think the best thing for this application would be a spread bore holley 800 dose anyone know where I can look up the numbers on some of the ones I have here to see if I have one?

All I can say about this build is I hope to get back to it by spring. At least it's in a safe place and I don't need to worry about it to much
