Hello to everyone,

It has been a while sinse I have logged onto the site, been very busy. I have completed my new shop in the back yard, made a work bench, some shelves, and moved the Falcon in. I plan to pull the engine in a few weeks. I have a 170 that is running well but would like to have a little more power to run an air conditioning unit. I got a 200 head out of a 1978 Fairlane that turned out to be a 1977. I would like to use that head in my rebuild if I can. I would also like to include a Comp Cam kit made for the 200 in my rebuild. I called an engine shop here in Albuquerque and they told me all of my ideas wouldn't work and that I should just put a new 200 engine in my car.

I need some advice and some knowledge to help me go forward. My car is all original and I would like to keep my 170 if I could.

How should I proceed? Any and all comments are welcome.
Guy
