Looking good! What's the driveline going to be?

I'm starting another one, too. The internet makes it feel like they're everywhere, but outside of the Ford races/reunions I've been to, I've seen exactly 3 teardrop cars in person in my entire life, and they were all the ones I owned.

I wish I had hi riser heads.  For now a 390/0.40 Over/ Barry's 4.25" stroker, heads and cam with a TCI trans.  I do have a BBM sideoiler bare block for when the cash catches up with the dream
