Hey Guys,

Thanks so much for your advice and comments. Looked at a Tiger in Ohio – but it was just too rusty. I plan to look at a Tiger in N.Calif; rust free! I have a spare 65′ 289 HIPO engine that came out of a Mustang. It is a 6 bolt bellhousing. That’s an option. But I like maintaining originality so keeping the 260 in there with a little work (maybe more than a little) also appeals to me. After more reading & research, I like to idea of keeping the original close ratio trans., however maybe changing to a lower geared rear end. What rear gears have appealed to you guys? Main use will be running around town. Not much highway use planned. Thanks.
