I like what you are doing with your car. Don't you just love how these quick projects turn into years?
Did you decide to go with the C4? If so, was it because of the clutch linkage?
I'm just going with a 2.3 in my 79 for now, but the ultimate goal is a 351C and some sort of manual overdrive trans. The car is currently set up for a Fox Mustang 2.3 and T5. I have the Fox 2.3, working on a T5.
Mine was caged (maybe 12 point, at least 10) before I bought it. The fenderwells are completely gone on mine, but I was thinking of doing what you did for the fender mounting. At least for now. Have to decide if I want to make my 74 a parts donor if I go that way.
Going one piece fiberglass at some point, but probably not soon. Need to get the car on the road quickly.
Thanks,
Russ
