CSH, HQ on the Road?

[Dave Zug.]

heh.. no pressure... no I don't know what I am doing.. just know what parts
I can get for cheap - until I can afford what I really need.. so if it comes
together on the first try.. its semi-informed luck, and I'll admit it to
anyone. I see the traction being a problem, or the rear exploding first.
Frame is already awful flimsy in the convertible. just a street car.

I have another 2-bolt 400 block for the "real" motor ;-) (someday - sigh)

so far all the components are torque based.. valve sizes, runners, TPI, CID,
cam profile,..  need 18 inch slicks and a ford 9".
