New Engine and Transmission

Well, after doing some debating, talking, digging, and discussing, I've decided to scrap the Straight-6. It is original - but that's all. It adds nothing whatsoever to the value of the car, nor does it make much horsepower. So, I have sourced a 390 in great condition from a same-year Tbird. It had a Cruise-O-Matic (MX) transmission on it, but I scratched it in favor of a C6 (which from what I can tell was recently rebuilt. Going to have it went through just for good measure). I have some plans for it - just waiting on the machine shop and my mechanic to get some numbers together. Also decided to switch to power steering, power brakes, and probably a couple of other things. First-thing's first. Engine and trans.
