my 79 cobra project

The best info I can share, talk to Mark Yacavone about a converter if you go auto. I was going to start with a 7.5 as well. You can get better axles, and they are 40lbs less than a 8.8. They will hold up to a 2bbl 302 and automatic. It depends on what you budget is and what you are looking to do. I bought a 79, and was going to build it as an 82 HO, but that's done with now. I tried to do it budget, but my 'budget' and a stocker 'budget' are vastly different...
