You are correct, the parts car has the right sheet metal. The bright blue stuff is 67 for sure, but I wasn’t going to say no to free sheet metal. Needs front floor pans and rear glass. The windows won’t budge on the car. Came with full front end rebuild parts, a disc brake conversion, and a new...
Alright, I took all of the advice and got to work. What I immediately found was that the exhaust valve lifter on cylinder 8 was not holding pressure. With joy, I believed this to be the problem. As such, I performed the following:
1. New set of lifters for all cylinders. The lifters and cam both...
The LAST thing you want on your vehicle is an "acrylic" windshield. Lexan ... maybe. Acrylic ... no F'n way !!!
The difference being Lexan is "shatterproof" ... you fire a bullet at it, it makes a big dent and a small hole. Acrylic (plexiglass) is NOT shatterproof - you fire a bullet at it and...
Been giving this a lot of thought about the geometry. All say move the ball joint rearwards. This is the basic premise for how I installed the offsets.

Pop the intake and get a good look at the cam.
If it has a decent pattern get that set of new lifters. If you have dbl springs pull the inners for the run in.
Plenty of cam lube and your zinc oil.
If you have any funny looking lobes it's best to find it now.
Good luck
