I'm sure people are interested to know if you checked for a build sheet in the 70 T/A seat backs?

Not sure on the build sheets. Had all the interior redone except carpet. The seats and headliner came out perfect. I wish ms pictures would post. I had plans of cutting out the bars so a stock style carpet set could be installed. The frame connectors are run through the rear floorpans.

When I had the engine redone I dropped the compression down to a streetable level and bought a six pack setup to replace the tunnel ram. Also got the twin scoop hood. Had plans to use car on street. I also bought 3.55 gears to replace the 4.56s havent got this stuff changed out yet thats where I left it 20 years ago.

I let the transmission go with the car. I ended up with a 68 dana from a b body a indy 440-1 head set up with t&d rockers, a 68 426 hemi with extra set of aluminum dual plug heads and wide pad rockers. 2 billet stroker cranks. Accel dual head distributor and a bunch of other miscellaneous hemi parts. I will be able to use most of the parts on my other projects and sell the parts I cant use. so Im happy .Im uncertain of value of these parts or the car but I had lost interest in the car 20 years ago. And this helps with my projects I am currently enjoying. I suppose its only worth what someone will pay. I am glad I didnt have to disect the car. Any thoughts if it was a good trade or not.

I'd say you made out like abandit!

Just taking a stab at it, Dana - $200, 440-1 heads and rockers - $4000, 426 Hemi assuming complete non running - $8000, alum hemi heads $3500, stroker cranks $4000, dual head distributor - $500, misc parts - call it an even grand, you total on stuff is $21,200.

I'd say it was a good trade.
