i suppose. it would save me the hassle of the cleveland top end modifications. and i already have an edelbrock intake, so i guess i can just jump at the heads from there. we'll see how it goes

i think im gonna try and do up a photoshop dealie. better than my last one

update time!!!!!!

ok. the bad:

-tranny fits, but not perfectly, needs to have some stuff welded on to make sure its secure
-needs a new yolk for the driveshaft to make it fit the AOD, no biggie, can be fetched from a scrapyard
-no idea if the lincolns exhaust manifolds will fit. they havent tried yet, but if they dont i guess i'll be getting hoocker or blackjack long tube headers lol
-the main mechanic said there was one other issue that there was, something minor, but he cant remember at the moment. hes going to have my uncle call when he remembers

the good
-told them about the 60's oil pan and ministarter
-told them about the shift kit

so its gonna take more time, but its progressing and my excitement is building! YEEHAW!!! i cant wait to be cruising around in the Boss 3-0-II

Awesome man. I know its just photoshop, but if you get those proportions right I think the melding of Cobra II and Boss 302 could be very sweet.
