If using a fordor, I would only use a slant-window fordor, the earlier ones had a lot of wood in their bodies, and were heavier. My first choice would be a tudor, but that's up to you. Stay with a basically stock engine, no full-pressure oiling. 12v. as Brent says, higher compression and a late B cam. A hotter cam will do you no good unless a bigger carb is used, and could hurt low-speed torque. Take spare parts, head gasket, carb, distributor, etc. Good luck, and have fun.
