Default Hello from Texas

New member from the houston area. I just picked up a 69 coupe. Its my 2nd one. My first was in highschool (1991). X11 code, not original SS though, non-numbers matching 350 / 350 auto. Front disc brakes, stock interior. Everything works. No major body damage or rust. Was able to dissect the car pretty well before i purchased it. White, black vinyl top, stock style SS wheels. Sorry its not a great pic.

Im gonna leave the current 350 in for a while, as it was a fresh rebuild on it and the 350 tranny. However, the 350 tranny is coming out ASAP for a 200 R4. Then 4 wheel disc brakes. It already has power steering and A/C. Of course, the first upgrade will be wheels/tires. When I do the motor though, Im thinking maybe an LS1 swap or maybe a ZZ4 crate motor with accel FI. Probably nothing more than 350 or 375 HP. Something I can drive a distance in if i wanted to, nothing to radical.
