   Hi, this is my first post here. I have a 71 Torino GT convertible with a 351 2V and I'm looking for some suggestions on handling and power.  The body is in perfect condition but I will post more specific questions in the correct topic area.  Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself and prepare you all for tons of questions.
