Maybe we need a "car geeks & freaks" area.

That is my favorite ford

This one looks like the one I have now and the second one looks similar to what I want the other one to look like

...seems a lot of shooter nuts are car nuts and especially the ones who were teenagers during the true muscle car times 65-72..nothing better than carburetors, white knob shifters or those Mopar woodies, dumping the clutch, those red cloth whipes and burning rubber...nothing under the hood except 8 spark plug wires, a coil and cool can. Wonder if we'd have fallen so deep in love if we had our motors look like the modern muscle motors..I KNOW NOT !!!

I bought this off a used car lot in Savannah GA as freshman in college. College parking lot had Z28s, Shelbys, Hemi Cudas, even a Superbird. Just a typical southern school in 1981. I still have this Boss 302.

I might have some original stuff for a 64 Impala.
I do have two pairs of 409 cylinder heads.

We sold a hood ornament from a chieftain like the one in your picture

If you had a vacuum leak it would be easier to just trade the car off than try to track it.

Oh no vacuum lines are easy for most cars you should have seen the ones on mid 1980's Hondas. I'm serious this one Honda I worked on had 27 vacuum circuits.

I like the old stuff don't get me wrong and I think it's all neat! But if you want reliable power it's hard to beat the newer stuff with computers. Take a 5.9 6.7 common rail Cummins and daily drive one at 1300hp, and drag race these fancy sports cars from stop light to stop light. That kind of power wasn't gonna be reliable or drivable back then. Same with these big cats we have throw together in farm trucks. A c18 cat at 1500hp is like driving a Cadillac with a load of grain to the river. And they actually have good manners when you want.
