I know this car is a lot different from most cars, however, it is light and can have a lot done to it. I plan on using it as a drag car. The problem i'm having is finding a small block V8 K member for the car and i also need a set of rear springs. I currently have the motor and trans from a 85 fifth avenue which was a 318 roller motor with 904 trans with 8.25 rear end not nearly enough car is running low 14's now. I am going to add a 416 and 727 and use either a 8.75 or a 9.25 rear end when i am finished.
If anyone knows where i can locate the parts i need I would be very appreciative.
Robert

Your car sound pretty cool
I myself have a 76 aspen R/T With a 400 Big block(I put it there) and a 727 T/F it has 12" slicks and runs in the low 10's its nice to see a fan of the F body right on brutha

Mopar38730, Building an F-Body car does present parts locating problems as you have noticed. I am not sure where you are located in the U.S., but you may want to try a Mopar salvage yard like Desert Valley or Stephens Performance or Tony's Parts. These guys deal in parts, and I am sure at least one of them can help.
Sometimes you just gotta say...
