Go hang out at some races. The more the better. Ask questions. See what it's really about before jumping in. Have you read some of the threads on here?

The 904 is a 3-speed automatic and a good one. The '74 car and the '73 are cosmetically VERY similar.... easy year-to-year changeover. Most folks can't tell 'em apart; I'm not sure I could.

The '73 340 is a fairly soft-factored engine; lots of guys run them, if you don't want the 360. I think it's virtually identical to the 1972 340 that powers David Buckner's '72 Duster which won class at Indy last year, was runner-up in Stock Eliminaror at that race, and just 2 weeks ago was the #1 qualifier at the Dallas (Ennis) Div. IV points race.

You could do a lot worse....
