Ahh, I was wondering how long it would take before I'd sense the evil approaching...didn't take long at all! You're not opinionated about the "ROADSTER" at all, are ya Jer?
To be fair, though, you're right...what it boils down to here is that I'm considering the acquisition of a toy, nothing more. As such, all of these practical considerations I'm having are a combination of two things. One, I like the coupes pretty much every bit as much as I like the roadsters, and two, it's just my retentive personality trying to make something that's supposed to be completely recreational, have some degree of practicality (which suggests I need serious amounts of psychoanalytic therapy).
Oh, and to everyone else, Norain here is Jerry, and he's right...he's known me pretty much before I was born as he's been in cahoots with my father well before I was a bad idea in the back of his brain.
As for my decision, well that's going to take a while before I can settle on one or the other. There are other considerations, like the fact that the coupe came with a small block, and the engine that I built would be more appropriate to that than the roadster (well, unless I got an FIA, but I don't like the look quite as much). Another possibility, is to sell that engine, and find a good FE block so I could use the heads, crank, intake, and whatnot that I have for a 428CJ. That, however, remains to be seen.
Jer, I'm assuming that you're just waiting for the engine to be finished off before you get your beastie, right? Regardless, from what I hear from people on here, you'll pretty much be giddy most of the time upon its delivery. That, and considering that Spokane has such dry summers, you'll get to play with it a LOT more than I would on this side of the state (hence the strong consideration of the coupe possibility). Oh, I forgot to ask...did you go through Park Place, or a different dealer? If I recall, you said you were going through some place back east.
Oh, and one other observation...you're awfully opinionated about Ford stuff for someone who was such a staunch GM guy for so many years! See? Eventually, everybody has to come to the dark side! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha! (ok, that was a bit much...I need to go mow the lawn, or something.) 'later!
