    non ford question...bare with me

    My vote says keep it and restore it, but if you do decide to sell it make sure it goes to someone who will give it a good home I'd hate to see a good restoration candiadate go sit out in a field for another 20 years.

    need your expertice on gaskets and rust inhibitors

    wheel and tire suggetions

    Get yourself a straigtedge and a tape measure and take some measurements are the only way to be sure. Following others peoples info is great for ideas/reccomendations but If there is any doubt the trusty tapemeasure should clear anything up.

    serpentine conversion....worth it?

    I did the serpintine conversion, I canibalized an old ford van for mine... everything bolted up fine, needed the reverse rotations waterpump and a spacer for the pully on it. I had to modify the D.S. power steering bracket as it was in the way for the vaccum advance on the distributer.

    please explain to me the big deal about a six cylinder to larger engine swap?

    I would say it really depends on what you want out of the car. If your just looking for a decent driveable car a 6 would be just fine and can even be made to run respectivly. If your looking for more of a "race" car then you can't beat the extra dicplacement of a V8. I give credit where credit...
