The wish list is long but I have good parts. The 88 5th ave will be getting a 1992 roller cam 360 with overdrive trans from a truck. Engine was a runner and sits in my garage. Hope to post many pictures of the swap but wont start till fall.
 
Photos of the car? Sounds like a fun project. What are you going to use for the rear axle?
 
Spent all day cleaning and fixxing little things on the car and it looks pretty good for 700 bucks. 7 dollar wash and 4 dollar air cleaner. Adjusted the ride height in hopes to stop the inside tire wear. Cleaned the wire harness conectors and the lean burn is working better. The harness was oil soaked. Ditched the smog pump. Drives good.

I hope to install an 8.8 ford explorer rear. Dont know if the offset will be a problem. These are plentifull in AZ yards lots of 3.73 tracklock rears. I have one in my Edsel and it fit well.
