So the things I want to get done this month are:
-continue to sand and prime the interior.
-replace trunk and door weather seals.
-GET A FUCKING HOOD.


I love my car and building it. Thanks to everyone who's helped. I feel like I'm getting there.

Well, I think I need to focus on the 2v while I find stability. Kinda disappointing, but I'm going to make the best of the situation. So I'm going to save for a new gear ratio (3.55) and look at engine builds on here on 2v's. Pretty sad and it is what it is. Looking for 3-350 hp, with an emphasis on responsiveness and reliability. Wanna keep it n/a. it'll be good to be able to find parts way easier.

Skip the 3.55’s and go with 4.10’s, you won’t regret it.

Those numbers aren’t easily attainable with the 2v. A full bolt on and cammed 2v can make around 300 at the rear wheels. Not much else unless you get a truck flow top end kit or go boost but both are pricey.
