Did your Dad keep the car pretty much stock over the years or had he modified it and tricked it up? If it's already been modded, then why not give it a try. However, if the car is bone-stock, then I'd rebuild the 390 and the tranny and keep it stock. These cars are pretty valuable when properly restored to original specs. Another thing to remember...the Tbird wasn't a muscle car, it was a luxury car. You don't get rubber coming off the line -- these cars are all about "floating" down the highway at 85 mph with power to spare! Good luck and have fun!
