New guy in Iowa

[Venomized]

Hello all. I just picked up a CLEAN 1995 GT. It has some flaws to it PO's oil pan patch (which consisted of for somereason covering half the oil pan with jb weld), have to replace the u joints (have them in the glove box as we speak) and thats about it.

I am looking to do a few mods to her but probably during the winter (garage queen then) give the motor a complete rebuild and add some more stuff in the process.

Pics of the car and parts I ordered/got in:

Welp got my walbro 255 pump in and my FRPP pushrods. Thursday Im ordering the TFS2500100 valve spring kit and new headgaskets as well. Looking into the graphite FRPP headgaskets which quench to .040", is that alright? I know oem quench to .041". Im just worried about valve and piston contact.

Thanks. I will post pics of the latest parts to come in and the car as it sits when I get home.
