Talking What do ya think???

OK, I have a 1970 Nova SS I've had since I graduated in 2004. The thing is I am sick of the old hot rod Fords with the dumb chevy small block in them. So the powertrain my Nova is gettin either a cheap parts built hot rod 350 engine TH350 transmission or what I was thinking is my 1979 460 big block 'n C6 or Toploader 4 speed which would be awsome just to turn the tables.
This car will be custom from bumper to bumper and its gonna have the race car look also. Roll bars, fuel cell, 5 point harness's, custom exhuast, custom narrowed Ford 9 inch rear(31 spline), No radio, just the exhaust rumble. wheel tubs and rear frame rails, Custom made paint, custom dash. And I will paint Powered by Ford in big blue pin striped letters on the hood if I do the 460 in it.

I have been wanting to do that for years with a 69 camaro or chevelle or something. It really takes no imagination to build a nice car and then stick a 350 in it. whoopti do.

Put the 460 in it! That'd show 'em.

I'd build up the 460 though.

Yeah I think ill be doing the 460 for sure because i have more 460 parts by far compared to chevy small block stuff. I was raised with Fords and I will die with Fords.
If anyone Has knowledge of certain things like suspension or engines or whatever to suggest to me while building this Beast, go ahead! more i know, the wider my imagination n possibilities go man!!!!
