My 70 fastback is in good to great condition for setting in a field for upteen years. no rust cept for a small place on a fender. its all there.......cept for the engine. Its an automatic which i want to keep and its still in the car. The t4 engine was with an auto also.........still complete and has all its pieces i believe its a 74 but im sort of unsure of that. NOW, your instructions......would they still apply....as far as the auto tranny if i went with the t4.....I hear its a GREAT engine, but I got this other one for CHEAPPPPP so i thought what the heck id go carb.......and maybe it would fit a little better.....sheesh.........so i dont know.
