Hoping to tap into the collective knowledge here.
The wife bought herself a 1954 Ford Mainline....overall pretty decent car, but I want to make her better.

Welcome to the family and you will meet many here that you will just get on with, those that still have those old Ford Boat anchor type engines. Just pulling your leg, mate....I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Actually, one reason I liked this car was that it has a later 289, '66 I believe, with some performance goodies...Holley 4bbl, with Street Dominator intake....custom exhaust manifold...Accel distributor.... stainless exhaust...I'm buying a disc brake conversion this week....too much go, not enough stop!!!Remember...traffic lights timed for 35 mph...are also timed for 70....
