Good luck! I did just that to my 74 and it turned into a lace curtain.  :22yikes: Dave is a good lad and he'll treat you right. Ian

It is going to get a four speed auto with a 3.55 dana 60 rear end. the supercharger needs to be that high other wise the intake to the supercharger will hit the valve cover.
