Just bought .. well traded my minitruck for this 4dr 6cyl stocker. I'm almost Shure it wears the original caps and washer bag . I'm doing quarters just got a new tank. For the five bolt swap what's best ? Keep the six or should I go to a 200 or 250 ? Airride ? ( I see tci has a four link bolt on kit that could be very easy switched. )
I had a 200 in a Fairmont, and was amazed it was so strong. I'd driven them before, and they were sluggish. I drove a Falcon with a 250, it was a real dog, but that was the last year they built them, and shared the body with a Torino. If it has a Mercomatic 2 speed, I'd ditch that too. Looks like it's worth saving, no matter what you do. Around here rust at those things alive, so they are rare now. Good Luck!
