Get a donor car.

I have wanted to put some type of smallblock motor in my 57 ford for a loooong time.
And disc brakes NEVER hurt.
And a manaul transmission would be a good thing too!

So should I buy it all "one pice at a time"?
(motor/trans from a YARD, disc-brakes from fatman)
Or should I go try and find a 70's granada that I can tear apart????

Yes on the DONOR CAR- swarm it -get all the useable stuff off in a week or two and dispose of it before the complainers set in! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Anybody have any thoughts on WHERE I can score the 75-80 granada?

Lincoln Versailles is basically same car other than interior and the disc rear,If you can snag one of those for 300 or so it willpay out- as the rear end would bring more than that so the rest would be free stuff. then a guy can keep the 9" in your car instead.....
