body panels will have to be custom, i dont know of anyone that makes them.

The 9.25 rear is about an inch wider than the 8.25, and the shock mounts will need to be ground off and re-welder on to the correct spots, and you will need much more than just a cam and heads, but the 360 block is the way to go.

 

fiberglass hood is about the only body panel you will find readily available. If you know somebody who owns a machine shop your best bet may be a bored and stroked motor depending on how cheap he is willing to do the machining for you.

as far as heads and cam, stock heads have a max of .500 lift and edelbrocks have a max of .580 without modification. with lift that low, you might need a solid roller cam to get the power you need to run 12s. Not sure if anybody else makes better heads for these.

 

alright cool cause i can get a fully Assembled set of aluminum fully together for i think like 800 bucks or so. but as for the panels do you think my best bet is to just take my bumper and fenders to a auto body shop to have them used as molds assuming if they will take that kind of work. another thing i was thinking of was my drive shaft. i know a place in ri that makes awesome aluminum drive shafts for a good price you guys think that would be worth the effort?

 

This article may give you some ideas. Im not sure how well the engine quest are but ive been thinking about buying a set as soon as the budget allows. http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tec...e/viewall.html
