[HELLRAISER II]

I agree, I guess i'm just a little miffed because my 67 had a vinyl top and the top underneath the vinyl has almost rusted completely through. I had to buy a donor car so I could chop the top off at the four corners and replace mine. I think i'm going to keep the original 289 and put some aluminum heads on it along with carb/intake, headers etc...Any idea what the max would be on h.p. for the 289. I thought about putting a 390 big block in it that I have access to, but the modifications are extensive.

Every 1960-70s auto from GM or Ford with a vinyl top suffered this problem.

Check out Ford. You can buy 350 hp crate small blocks that will drop right in.

I'm really thinking about starting a coupe project car, 66-70 body.
