Rebuilding my 79 zephyr z7

['79z7]

Hi all! New user....Swapping my 302 and c4 for a 400 with toploader or at least that's the plan. Might retain the c4 if parts are hard to come by. I have owned multiple foxbodys and decided it's time to do something different. For the z7 I like the idea of a large cubic inch motor and a classic 4 speed manual. Fits the look and feel of the car better imho. Reminds me of my dads Torino in a way with this setup. I am aiming for 380hp 450tq on 87 octane (my buddy accomplished this in his bronco). I hope to start a build thread one of these days. It will be the first time I have documented a project!
