    My first car was a '72 Gran Torino so this hits my nostalgia button. My parents gave it to me with the "if you can get it running you can have it" line. I learned a ton about cars getting that thing to run and how if you buy a used engine you should really get some kind of return policy in case it turns out to be a dud.

    That’s such a cool, selfless thing to do for your uncle guys. Way to be!

    For the 400m engine, the main thing you have to do is raise the compression ratio to between 9:1 to 10:1. Pistons are hard to find but 351 Cleveland pistons can be used if a bushing is used at the small end of the rod. This is because the wrist pin on the 351 is slightly thinner. This does slightly weaken the engine, but that only matters if you're adding a turbo or something else insane.
    Edelbrock makes a4 barrel to 2 barrel head intake and cam that works great...once you get that compression ratio up!!
    The 400 also hooks up to the mighty C6 transmission. (You can bow down & whisper how unworthy you are at this time.)
    Make sure the 9" rear end has trac-lock aka positraction. The car is heavy enough in the back to benefit from this.

    Guys what an amazing project!! We are a very small new channel here in the UK and will happily donate to this. I had a daughter born with 4 holes in the heart and know the true value of our uk healthcare system where we don't pay. Hope your uncle is ok and getting the best treatment! Good luck with the project ... We are about to do something here which has a lot in common with you guys ;-) I'll donate when I'm in the office tomorrow. Fantastic car and looking forward to the new episodes!

    My dad and I are also restoring a 1974 ford torino (same paint job from the tv show Starsky and Hutch) that we've had for about 20 years so this is really cool to see.

    I think that is the perfect thing to do for him. Unfortunately, it's almost too late for him to enjoy. At least he will have the satisfaction of feeling the wheel and maybe driving it up-and-down the road a few times.
