    running boards

    The torsion bar isn't hard to replace but you will need an extra set of hands and a cheater pipe to get it loaded and set back into place...Last one we did was on a new replacment shell so you might check the manuel i think they suggest removal of all internal parts...We swapped everything over...

    Really loud starter.

    Just a thought,But when i rebuilt my 351w i bored it 0.40 over and used a generic flywheel from autozone(I know shame shame).Got the engine reinstalled and the first couple of spins of the starter was fine.Then it got louder and every so often would grind.Figured it was the starter and change...

    302 and 351w

    Even though the 302 and the 351w are basically kissin cousins they will interchange pretty much everything but intakes....Sorry dude...But the upside... Aluminum intake are pretty cheap...I think i only paid about $175.00 for a good edelbrock intake or find a stock one in the boneyard for next...

    wheel spacers

    I'm sure it's not the answer your looking for but i'd just spend the little extra money on wider wheels....They anit cheap if you buy a good set but still not worth the hassle with having to send money on other front end parts that you end up breaking....
