Default Second time around for a 68 Firebird

I originally had a 68 Firebird which I sold years ago to goto school and recently came across another 68 Firebird project car. Last time I left it pretty much stock. This time I am thinking since I will be pulling it off the frame for media blasting I would like to make it a good daily driver. So I am thinking a 1968 400 era block or equivalent with 16 heads, an Edelbrock EFI, March Serpentine belt system, Factory air, dual electric fans, 4 wheel disc, 700r4 lockup converter with either a DSE or fabricated 4 link in the back and fully updated 2 inch drop tublar A arm front suspension and maybe a mini tub in the back. Its a project so its still in the early planning stages. I welcome ideas and cheap alternatives and or part sources.

Welcome to F-Body Online Rob.

If you've got any pictures of the build so far, make a user album and upload the pictures in there.

Very cool. 68s are one of my favorite years and one of the 'Birds I'd like to own someday. Welcome to FBO!
