I have a 64.5 Indy Pace Car that I have been rebuilding for the past few months. It is an automatic with a 260 V8 that is completely original. I am going to have the engine rebuilt while I have it out and I am looking for thoughts/opinions on the engine components. This is what I want from the rebuild.
1. I need to use the original 260 block, heads, and carb (I think it is a 2 barrel??)
2. I plan to use also rebuild the tranny, but I dont anticipate too many changes to it.
3. I plan to use fresh OEM manifolds and exhaust.
My previous rebuilds have always revolved around getting as much punch as possible, but this one is different for me as the goal is to maintain the appearance that the drivetrain is original.
Thanks!
