Interior progress before and after pics
This is a former cop car so, the interior was ragged the hell out. I am not done yet, I know I still have to install the gauges (waiting on new speedo cable from 50resto) and I have to put the cover panels on the bottom of the door panels. Anyways on with the pics....

RE: Interior progress before and after pics
I did all of this for right at $700, but I still have to do the trunk (make a false floor and find better spot for the battery) and then the last thing will be the Motor (because it will never end). I just bought a 351 roller motor ($100) with less than 70k miles that I am taking to my machine shop as soon as I get it torn down. I think I want to do a 408 but I dont know yet. I am still debating between 331, 347, 351, 408, or a 460. I dont know if I want to limit myself to a 302 block and be stuck with never getting over the 450hp mark. I know I want a bottle on it but I want to have *** tons of power before I use it and still have a reliable motor while using it. Any suggestions on this topic will be great.

A 408 stroker, you could build for 450 hp and be slightly less reliable with almost 200 lbs less weight on the front end and better mileage.
347's are awesome, quick revving engine but if you wantreliability, you'd want to limit it to about 400 hp and it would be same weight as a 302.
