I’ll leave the thought of “restored” to the side for now, as my short-term goal is to get this slab back on the road on a budget. California car that I picked up from a friend and had it shipped back here to TX (north side of Fort Hood). Been turning the engine over by hand while oiling the cylinders for a few days until I get everything together to turn the key on this 430.
Any guidance on a good online store for oem items such as fuel lines (mechanical pump to carb), fuel pumps, filters, etc.?
Also need a good solid trunk lid as the original has some rust. Otherwise the car is very straight for it’s age.
If I fire up this engine and deem it in need of a rebuild, what are the pros and cons to punching it out to a 462 while I’m in there?
