    No cigarette lighter or dome light

    He's definitely been around square bodies his whole life. My 86 has AC, and manual floor vents. I know a guy who just bought a 76 with no headliner and a dome light. Looks like the wires were run through the roof.

    Cup holder

    I built one that sits on the hump as well. But mine has a spot for one cup. And five toggle switches. It's pretty small because its a manual 4x4.

    mild 350 build

    Just wanted to update you guys. I picked up a built 350 for $1500. The engine hadess than 200 miles on the build. He never dinoed it but said it was about 400-450 HP. I've got a list of the parts he used. It was a good build. Just needed the money. I know the guy and know I got a great deal

    305 to 350

    I know the header has nothing to do with the power steering pump. I've changed pumps before. Its a Chevy small block. It was in a mustang. The headers were hacked up

    He had the motor in a mustang. I don't want to run manifolds on it from my 305.

    305 to 350

    I'm going to be using long tube headers. Only thing I'll have to change over is my power steering pump. Hopefully it won't be too bad. I've changed em before though.

    I wasn't including the exhaust in the price. After doing a bit more research I realize it will cost more than I had planned. I'm completely fine with that. Also I'm dating the exhaust mans neice so I might get a decent discount haha. He usually charges around $200 and does a damn good job.
