Two things...
First off, I am going to be building an extra 351c on the side. I honestly don't have a clue what it takes and what the process would be to rebuild an engine (like what to ask for at a machine shop for the block, .20 or .30, replacing what items, etc.). Is there a book or manual that someone would recommend for me to read before I start my engine building process? I plan on either a 393 or 408 stroker engine. I am just going to use either a 2 bolt or 4 bolt (doesnt matter if I dont plan on a power adder does it?).
Secondly, I am going to do the whole 71-72 mach paint scheme on my car when I get home and get it paint back to glow gold. I am going to get the bottom portion painted black and with the hockey stripes. I am going to do the stripe kit I guess on the stripes. Where is the best place to get the correct stripe kit? I dont want one that is not correct per factory. Also, what type of black came on the hoods? Was it like a primer type, because I was thinking I want it glossy like everything else on the car. I am going to look at a few more pictures of cars with closeups on the hood to make sure I want that. Which one looks better in your opinion?
I would appreciate any advice and opinions you guys have!!! Thanks
