If you have a tri5 chevy all that work is done already. A phone call to Jegs will buy most everything to build the car......call Hooker and ask for a set of headers for a '58 Tbird with the optional 430 Mercury engine.

That car is to nice to make a race car out of it. Fix whatever it needs if anything and drive that great piece of detroit iron and let other people enjoy admiring it.
