Put a different 318 2 barrel engine with 75000 miles on it and rebuild the original 904 torqueflite transmission with a kit from tci transmissions
Build story
I Pulled the car out of a field on my dads farm in Iowa in 2011 where it sat for 30 years then brought it home to Fairfield Iowa where I pulled the engine and replaced it with a 75000 mile factory 318 engine like the one that came out of the car that I got for $100 of Craigslist then I redid the cooling system, breaks, suspension and fuel system on the car cleaned up the interior best I could with the deteriorating seats I put seat belts out of a 04 dodge neon in the car to be safe. I put new tires on it and got it driving. Then 4 years after I got it road worthy rebuilt the original 904 torqueflite transmission with a kit from tci transmissions and it is my daily driver on nice days during the summer. Note it still has massive holes in the floor from the Iowa winters but that’s fine I put some sheet metal there and self taped it to the floor.
