    Just bought a 73 mav with a 302, 4 brl, and duels off the manifolds for a grand. Body is trashed but all I was looking for was the engine (I figure a grand is worth having every part I need for the swap right there.) Gonna swap the engine, tranny, and diff into my 70. Just thought I would share my news! I'm so excited! Oh yea, it comes with two pair of buckets! AND seventy plus pounds of bondo in the passenger side! lol. Pretty excited but kinda nervous, first time doing a project this big, what all advice do you guys have for me, what tools am I gonna need besides all my basic tools!

    With that much plastic, you almost have a Corvette!
