I'm a factory original kind of guy, but do see the value in boosting
performance and handling too. Unless your intention is a sale why rebuild the car
for someone else ? Rebuild it for yourself and keep the 260 as an added incentive
to a buyer (if you ever sell)

I'm very proud of myself for deleting what I almost posted.
I'm learning.

years before I owned the car)
