The 66 is basically stock right now,front/rear roll bars (dont know the diameters) 4 wheel drum brakes, single m/c no subframes etc.
Once I get the 93 back up, I will be taking her off the road to start mods. The inital stages will be to bring her up to modern "roadworthy" standards. The frontend definatly needs a rebuild, and I'm planning on working a brake upgrade into it (granada discs to start, and down the road going for larger front, and rear discs.)
I would rather not cut into her, as far as tubbing and shock tower removal goes. (I hadnt heard about access issues w/ the 351. something to keep in mind). I have no problem with having a roll cage, but I dont want to build a car so modded that I cant take it out for a cruse.
Budget right now is about 200 a month, but I'm taking the long view on things, and trying to plan the mods in waves, focusing on the handling and suspension first, and building the motor once I have the car ready for a nice engine.
This is the same idea that I have for the 93. I want her to be able to handle
beyond her engines power before I start upgrading the engine itself.
Basically (I know the following descriptives are kinda useless without an empirical comparison for perspective) I want the 93 to be a very nimble street car with a lot of grunt. The 66 will be the "big gun" and geared more toward straight line. I doubt that I'll put alot of time in at the strip, but overall, I'm looking for a pair of cars that will hold their own against pretty much anything I'm likely to run into on the street short of exotics and trailer queens.
simple, right?
p.s. sorry 'bout the diatribe. just trying to clarify my feelings/goals
