I want to thank everyone who offered some input.
As of a couple hours ago I'm the owner of a 1978 Monte Carlo with a 305/350
and various other goodies that look usuable. The car runs and drives, goes
down the road smooth and straight, and even felt right hitting some speed
bumps a bit harder than I would normally.
It will probably sit till spring, but I think this is the motor/transmission
and IFS for my '54.
