@chris the cooch - I ran a flathead in my shoebox for a while and it was one thing after another. So i'm 110% done with them. Just not for me, however I highly respect the guys that do run them. I want to be able to drive this thing at high hwy speeds for long distances... you know. 65-100 mph! At least I'm keeping it all ford and not dropping in 350 as so many people say I should do. I thought the drop axle & discs up front was the way to go keeping it more traditional than a mustang 2. Split the wishbones. I left the drums on my my 50' and it kinda sucks. At this stage, i'm just seeing what's out there for what I want to use the car for. The outside and inside I'm trying to keep original, just want to really make it a driver. I'm just learning about the 36 and do plan try and not hack on it as much as possible.

thanks and i look fwd to your input and advice.
