yes first convertible I have owned, I am in buffalo so it's only out for four months. I will have to look up the chi com heads and see what they are made after. what throttle body would be good to get I realy dont know anything about fuel injection. and of course about two years ago I was cleaning out my garage and junked a good early 70s 302 block. why would the early block be better than the roller block that's in it.

All the convertibles are up here rotting in New England. Like 70% of all foxes for sale. Someone please come and take them.
