This summer and fall I'm looking to rebuild the front end of my 68 coupe. In doing so, I plan to yank the engine for convenience and ease of operation.
While it's out, I may take a shot at my first engine rebuild. I bought the car w/ a non-original 302 in it (1987 block), that has been sitting for several years. As it sits now, the car is not roadworthy.
Any suggestions for an inexpensive, basic rebuild kit? When I get the suspension in order, I would like to be able to get the car out on the road for easy drives/cruises. Drive it while I work on it, basically.
No, it won't be a daily driver or a vehicle that I have to depend on for regular transportation. I realize that it will be quite some time before I actually 'finish' (does that really ever happen? LOL) the car. But, I would like to think that I can drive it up to the corner station or grocery here and there to stretch its legs out.
