Thanks guys, this is the kind of info I was looking for. I know that the heads are gonna be a restriction if the stockers are used, but I'm looking at this as a process of stages. Right now, I'm looking at getting her rolling again with a decent engine that will allow for improvement in time. Next phase is getting the suspension/drivetrain up to handling the power that the engine will be producing after "stage three" which will be the expensive stuff, i.e. good heads etc.
After that the process will start again, *cough*stroked 408 *\cough*
On a side note, Rev: You mentioned that a 2.5k-2.8k converter will launch "ok" with the c-4. Would a different speed (higher?) conv. work better for the application without sacrificing streetability too much? Like I said, the car wont spend much time on the interstate, just around town and maybe once in a blue moon going to the track .
Thanks again for the ideas/info,
J
