Thanks for the positive responses, y'all. In short I bought the car last Aug for the princely sum of $1500. When I went to look it over it started first time & purrs like a kitten. Somewhere along it's life it was given a Chevelle subframe complete with sbc/305 turbo combo. As for plans, a MOPAR power plant is the first & most desired. Would like to go older Hemi (not that my budget could stand it) or if not then a 340 or 360/727combo would suffice. Always like the look of discs so, those are in a box in the garage awaiting installation. I'm also tossing around the idea of lake pipes for it. The buckets & shifter will go also. I also may try to lower the nose a tad. (the original idea of the big/little combo). As for the hood, I'm actually liking the look of it without it right now & no matter the engine, I plan to run 2 or 3 dueces.
Right now I'm trying to get it driveable to take to The Frog Follies in Evansville, IN. Not taking the wife's truck as it will not fit on the trailer. Yes, I said trailer. For shows that are far away, we take our motorhome as it's less expensive to camp & eat our own food than to spend about three times as much per day as we spend for three. Will post more pics as I take them.
