I started rebuilding a 30 rpu that i got a few years ago, it was in really bad shape, (not that it's a whole lot better now), i re-did the frame, added some short ladder bars that i got from a swap meet, a ford rear end from a 67 fairlane, 440 mopar and 727 trans, i went with a vega box for the cross steer, looking for some ideas to make it a cool car, more pics when i can get them.
Looking pretty good! If you get tired of those valve covers let me know Love the choice of drive train.
here is a few more pics of my rpu, more of the whole car later. thinking of a polished alum. firewall?
Keep up the progress. Great engine. Have you searched 440 posts here? There's a lot of good information. Lucky667
