Default MORE QUESTIONS

I will be wanting to install new springs and shocks among other suspension parts...

Any idea what I should be looking for for GT-37 shocks? I like the stability of KYB Gas-ajust, but would that be detrimental re: being non-original?

Should springs be just 71 Lemans hardtop springs? MOOG has different numbers. I like firmer ride not mushy.

Regarding the engine, I have been planning to rebuild current engine. It supposedly has 189,000 miles on it and is original as far as I know. It is the 250 HP 350. Would going with better heads also ruin originality and consequently the value? Also with that high mileage I'm thinking it might need to be bored and new pistons... More than just rings, bearings and valve job. I may have an opportunity to buy another 350 (71 I think) with mild Crane HMV cam. and a 4 bbl that is a running engine. (Sounded pretty good on facebook video anyway)

That's enough questions for now! Any opinions welcome! Thanks!
