FINALLY.......After 2 months of research and questions I ordered my complete MK4 kit and got confirmation on it. My completion date is expected to be 4/30/22. I will try and wait patiently as I better get use to it because of how long I'm sure it will take me to build. My car will be a Sunday driver to car shows and places my wife and I want to cruise to but of no great distances. I have 3 young girls so I know I will not be able to devote a lot of my time on the build as they seem to keep my wife and I very busy. But that's ok, I have more time then money. LOL. I want to thank thus far Fman and edwardb for allowing me to pick there brain and get advice so far. But I'm sure there will be many more questions for them and others along the way. I'm from little town South of Sacramento California. As of right now I'm planning on a TKO 600. But not sure what the rpm will be at cruising speed. I have a 57 Bel Aire with a crate 350 and Tremec 5 speed and the rpm at cruise is fairly low and nice and love that transmission. But I also know that's comparing apples to orange's and this car will just be louder just because.
My Kit:
Complete Kit
Uncoated (plan on PC a certain color, just not sure what that is yet)
427 Fuel Injected most likely from Elliot Franklin
Hydraulic External Clutch
Body Cut Outs
FFR Lowback Vintage Seats (I'm 6'3")
Power Steering
FFR Vintage Gauges
FFR 18" Halibrand Wheels
Wind Wings from Finish Line
FFR Sun Visors
FFR Wiper Kit
FFR Front/Rear Swaybars
Brake Duct Mesh from Breeze
FFR Carbonfiber dash
FFR Passenger Roll Bar
FFR Side Louvers
FFR Center Dash Support
FFR Trunk Gas Strut
FFR IRS Suspension
FFR Koni Double Adjustable Shocks
FFR Front/Rear Black Wilwood Brakes
I plan on adding some stuff also:
Russ Thompson turn signal
Rear View mirror from Dar****er Customs

Mike Forte throttle linkage
Mike Forte Hydraulic External Clutch
Any advice and/or confirmation on transmission will be greatly appreciated. Just don't want to have to have high rpm while cruising down the freeway. Thank you in advance.
