Jim, "Fairly Nice" is a very subjective term and the definition is in the "eye of the be beer holder"
My definition is:
Body in a mostly, non dented condition, paint in any condition
Nothing or very few things missing, such as trim and interior
No broken or missing glass
Drivable with a little work
This car meets all the criteria. Regarding the rear end, if you will read my post #5, you will see my feelings regarding that and I have a '57 housing in hand BUT, I will try this rear first. It's a 3.9/1 so, it won't stay, just because of mileage factor and the 9" will go in with a 2.74 gear. I also have that.
The original 361 engine gets a Eagle 428 crank and .040 (410) over pistons (419 ci), aluminum HP 390/406 manifold and a 226 @ .050 cam so, I figure the HP to be between 385 and 420 when bolted in. I have all but the cam, in hand.
Originality, isn't a consideration, other than most of the interior and body. I'm building it as a hot, 3300 lb street rod.
I will drive it with the 6, until my engine is ready and the engine and 3 speed, will be for sale, this summer.
