    E7 heads? Why limit yourself? What are your actual goals for the car?

    If getting a restrictive factory intake, I imagine you'll be wanting to stick with a factory(ish) camshaft. For rollers, that typically means HO or Explorer cams.

        Well Ive been thinking of looking for a set of 69 high compression heads and a high rise 4 bbl intake if I can find the stuff cheap enough. What would be a decent mild cam to use? I would like to get atlest 250-275 hp if I could.

        More pics comming shortly...

          Got more of the engine bay striped down, wiper trans and plastic housing are out. Got the intake and valve covers off... The intake peeld off like nothing and half the bolts required no power to loosen off.
          Also put my rechromed front bumper on.








          Also cleaned up a part of the frame. fairly decent under the old under coating.

              I know shockingly enough. I was expecting lots of sludge. Now we'll see how much of a ridge there is on the cylinder walls. when the heads come off.

                  maybe I missed it, but what's the story on that rechromed bumper? Looks stunning.

                    got that rechromed a few years back. My grandparents own a chrome shop

                        So plans have changed for this car. Since My lincoln will be my main priority this year i have decided to finish the engine bay resto on this car, but performence parts will have to wait. For now the original parts will be repainted and put back on.. Needed gaskets anyways. Also frame firewall and insides of fenders will be painted black. Once the car is running I will be putting it on the road so the resto work can be started on the lincoln..

                        I have the valve covers and intake painted so far, I set them on the Engine for picture perposes. Looks pretty retro to me, And thats the look I am going For... Also a pic of the hubcaps I want to use if I can find 15 inch deep dish steel wheels for them.
                        Here are the pics:
