Thanks for the comments.
I've already started on it a bit. I removed the front end, motor and transmission.
Transmission is already rebuilt and waiting for installation.
The motor revealed that it couldn't have been running very well at all. The timing chain had been replaced at some point in time, but the rest of the motor looks to be untouched. But....it's in very poor shape. I really don't see how oil was going back down into the crankcase as there was so much sludge covering the holes, it looked to be nearly impossible.
Also, I haven't seen it yet, but the Machinist said that at least six lobes of the cam were nearly completely gone.
So, while I will probably try to keep the appearance stock, I am going to stroke the motor for the power advantage.
A lot of ideas, but yet I still want to keep the look clean, and close to stock appearances.
