    i've decided to hang onto my car, in the past 9 months its kinda grown on me... but its got some body damage, passenger side front, door, and trim around the pass side headlights.. thats the worst of it that isn't just rust, i was told when i got it the guy that used to own it busted it up trying to load it on a tailor, door has a pretty bad gash in it, would it be easier to try and beat the parts back into shape and go thru an insane amount of work, or is there any place to get decent replacement parts? also its got a 400 v8 that i'd love to beef up some if theres any tips for where to get parts to upgrade everything.... thanks for any help you can offer

    To the best of my knowledge there was never any speed eqipment made for this engine and very little will interchange with a 351. This is a 351 with a 1/2 in stroke and when they stroked it they made the block taller to accomodate it, therefore intakes won't interchange, nor distributor etc. This engine replaced the 390 2bbl. engine in the lineup.
