Howdy guys,
So ive been given an opportunity to do 2 different things with my car and i cant decide what to do.
So on one hand, a good friend of a friend of mine who works at a Ford performance shop has a 67' 200 that is a good runner for $250, and will refund if any issues. And about a 2 hour drive away. This will bolt to the current 9" manual setup i have. And i get to jeep using the $1000 clutch job i just had. But my tranny bearings have about a year left, and will cost about $1000 to rebuild and put back in.
On the other hand, theres a 65' 200/C4 combo for sale for $400 and i get everything i need with it (ie radiator, cross member, etc) minus the column which j can get for $75 at the wrecking yard. But i might have to lengthen my driveline.
The engine and tranny are still in the car and he said i could drive it around town to see if i like it, if so we'll pull it right there. This is also a further trip about 3.5 hours 1 way.
Im also taking somewhat into consideration that i have a 2.8 Ford 8" in the rear. The automatic will like that setup.
What do yoy all think? Be brutally honest. Im leaning towards the C4 but the 67 is nice since its dual patterned so i can put either setup on it.
No i cant afford both, and im not taking into consideration that i can sell the 65' 200 from the C4 and buy the 67'. The 67' for $250 is a right now only deal
