looks like you are doing it right and getting after all the rust. When you finish, you will have a great car that is even cooler because you did all the work yourself! As a 69 coupe owner, I am looking forward to seeing the finished product. Mine has a 390 and is no slouch but your built up motor will probably be a real hp monster. Re tires, if your coupe is like mine, you can fit 275x15" and still keep the rubber under top center wheel well. I think I could have fitted 295x15" under there if I had a bit more offset on the wheels.

yea i slid those 10.5s under my car and they fit pretty good i think i could have a bit wider but it would be pushing it. what are the specs for your rims? like backspacing and offset wise?

they are 15x8" summit legend rims. I believe they are 4.5" backspacing. I had some room left inside so could have probably gone up to 5" backspacing and still been ok.
That sounds very similar to what I had in mind. That is the same cam I was considering. Also the same heads except in the 58cc chamber which with the piston I want to use should give me about 10.7:1 cr. Im still juggling around intake ideas. Wanted a dual plane but now leaning towards a single plane : / But thanks for the info! Cars lookin good and keep us updated with lots of pictures.
