I DO have a 3.73 TG out of a 78 amx and a 3.44 1st st-10 that could be put into use...I don't know what the rev capabilities are on a 199 (that'll put it in V/S or V/SA( if I wanted to run Lane Weber)...232/258? I don't know either...shifter? i'm using a hurst supershifter (street one, not the reverse lockout type)..
Tom, find an old Comet or Maverick, much easier way to go.
77 / 79 AMC 258 with a 2 barrel, 150 HP
Some of the 70,s 302 2 barrel Fords are as low as 137 HP last time I checked.
I was fortunate, my car is heavy enough to hide in V.
