They are usually MINT restored and waaaay out of my price range though. She is from Gerogia and was on E-bay I won her yesterday. Winning bid with 10 seconds left. Whew that made me sooo nervous. She has a 318 with a 3 speed manual trans, 3 on the tree

Senior Guru Ohio 334 Posts Member since: 2007/12/30 0:00	Will be red with white top "Christine" Nothing too wild with the engine, rebuild 318 maybe cut a 360 crank to fit her and mild cam and dual quads. Would like to get 350 horsepower out of her. Body is staying on frame, she has disc brakes on the front already I have her on uship now getting quotes to get her home. Mailed check today

Grand Imperial Pooh-Bah San Pedro, CA 20859 Posts Member since: 2005/9/7 0:00	This is the best part of the car hobby. Finding a neat old ride, that the high-dollar guys ignore, but is still so super cool, that everyone will get a smile from it. Talk about a win-win. I would add some trick Cragar SS mags to it... you know the old school 5 spokes. With a ride that big, I would consider a 16"x8". Really fill in those wheel wells. Would super pop against the red/white two tone. Those would rock. As for the motor, there are some kick-ass 360 based crates available. This is vs cutting up a nice original 318, that is. I would leave it a manual... if the tree gets icky, you can always do a floor conversion, and if the three speed packs it up, get a nice 5 spd for it. But keep the manual. In fact, I would consider the 5spd floor shifter now, and preserve the original 3spd.

Lots of the later 318 stuff is interchangeable, intakes are not, have to have cam ground for her. Oh it will stay a manual trans on the column. I think that kicks ass I will rebuild the 318 Poly in her add the dual quad intake hotter cam, she'll motorvate good enough. I want to keep the Poly in her and 3 speed has overdrive in this sucker

The wide whites are newer cokers and those are staying. Love that look. I haven't been this excited over a car in forever if ever.

I think someone still makes those finned rocker covers and they look awesome. I can imagine popping the hood and checking out that big ole wide motor with all that stuff polished out.... That is an awesome car man, with alot of potential for very cool old school mods. Congrats. Will

Going to keep it a Poly V8 I have another 58 Poly that is going to end up a 402 cu inch stroker with dual quads. Should make 400 horsepower and not be obnoxious.
