This backdating and wannabe stuff is for the birds unless the car is a true, hot rod beast. I'm all for those builds, but this is not one of those. Slap a 3.6 in that baby and then we'd have something to bid on.

I disagree. We’ve talked about how these cars really wake up with weight loss. So you find an SC that needs paint. Backdate it in glass and take 300lbs of the car. With smog requirements still in play so many places, just keep the 3l. With a 3.6 swap being $25k these days I’m more likely to rebuild a 3.0 for $15k and put the other $10k into the gearbox.
