Haven't fully settled on the painter yet, but have talked to all three. My thought is to talk to them all again once ERA starts to build my car, and make a decision then.

Decided to go with the engine I had first talked about, a 428 with dual carbs and stroker crank. Won't be over the top as I want a street car, no racing planned. As Rick knows, I've already started to look for a suitable 427SO for a possible swap in the future. That's still up in the air though.

Options, options, options... Seems that every time I look, I find something else and end up adding it! There doesn't seem to be any one consistent list of actual options, but I guess that's part of the challenge. I did go with the bigger brakes up front and the outboard brakes in the rear. From what I've read here, it seems that everyone kind of finalizes their options at the start of the build?

Thanks for asking, and keep your suggestions coming, as they are really appreciated.

Hi Ray,

I thin kthe 428 with dual carbs is a smart choice for the street. It will have better low-end torque most likely than the 427 would. You mention that you're thinking about a stroker crank. What is the final displacement that you are shooting for?
