So just to give you a little more insight into my ultimate goal with this car. It's my 69 GP that I've owned since July 1985. It was my daily driver for several years until I decided to only use it ocassionally in order to preserve it. Now I've decided that instead of having it sit most of the time, I want to drive it again most, or all of the time. So I'm going with the original 400 block, bore to 4.155, I have a 4" stroke forged crank with 3" mains, bbc rod journals, I'll use 6.8 H-beams. I'm thinking about using Edelbrock D-ports (no porting except maybe a "clean-up"), shoot for 10:1 compression, hydraulic roller 220/228 .470 lift on a 112 (approx specs). RPM intake 800 cfm Q-jet. AOD trans that we've been talking about, and 3.55 gears. Eventually I'll put bigger brakes w/ disc all around and upgrade the suspension with aftermarket control arms, adjustable shocks, sway bars, etc. Once I get the car where I want it, I intend on running the Silver State Classic with it at least once so I can mark that off my bucket list. Right now I have not begun on this at all. It's just on paper so things might change.
