I know a lot about Fords too, so if you have any random questions and your buddy isn't around shoot me a PM. I'm really interested in this build. Something I've wanted to do for a LONG time, but can't really do stuff like this in college. Are you buying a new crate engine? Or used? Also, how bout a set of Cobra seats. They are really comfortable, and depending on what color interior you have in the Vic, they will match the Ford interior perfectly.
It would be sick if you did a shaker hood with the Cobra Jet emblems too. Like the old Fairlanes, etc. that could be ordered with the "Cop motor" from the factory.
