I was very lucky the interior was in good shape to begin with. The only thing trashed was the dash pad (of course). I bought the cover from Coverlay. Best $115.00 investment that one can make for the look of the interior. ABS plastic so I won't hve to worry about it drying out like the oem. I bought it thinking I would fix the color if it didn't mach up, but it was too darn close to mess with!! Very hard to tell it's not supposed to be there. I get a kick out of pulling it back when someone marvels at how perfect it has held up. Fits great!!sigpic

Congrats on POTM!!! Got some muscle up there this time
Actually, I would rather have a project car with a ratty interior. That way you don't have to worry about messing anything up when the engine swap is in progress. The last two things that should be done to a project is the interior and then paint.

Well, time for an upgrade.
I ordered some headers from Ford Power Applications. I guess this is the beginning of the winter fun! I think they will fit with no modifications now that I have been able to see them in person with the car. Looks like they make nice stuff for the 302 also. They even engraved my name and flange style I picked on it.
I will have them ceramic coated after I verify fitment. I also ordered a Holley 870 carb to open up the intake side also. I bought the 750 to go with the iron heads. I think it's a bit too small for the SCJs.sigpic

looking nice! Yeah a 750 is tiny for 557, wow. The 870 should make it a little better.

Those are some sweet headers! Hopefully they fit with no major issues. Can't wait to see them coated.
Yea 750 cfm is way to small for that monster. Hell I'm going to run a 750 cfm carb on my 300 inline 6! The 870 is probably still a little on the small size for that engine.
