Thanks for all the advice so far regarding the longevity modifications.

What would be the best way going about rebuilding the 302 engine and AOD transmission in my car? Would it be more efficient to buy new ones altogether?

My main objective for this car is not to for it to be a racing car, but rather a nice, smooth quality ride car. Hence, I want to focus on chassis stiffening and more handling improvements. I would also like to enhance power and speed, but these are more secondary issues.

I am in the process of planning my car's restoration and would like to improve my engine's performance along with the interior and exterior. I am concerned in putting too much strain on a worn engine.

Any more bits of advice or suggestions are always greatly appreciated and they help me out A LOT as I plan this project. Thanks.
