    I recently purchased my 1972 Grabber for 2500. Has a 351 Windsor and a C4. I plan on putting a 302 in in, and finding new buckets. It currently has Mustang buckets in it. Also I plan on putting a set of Torque Thrust rims on it.

    I may keep the 351 in it. Not 100% sure yet. Have always liked 302's have never had any problems with them. The 351 that is in it now runs but needs carburator work has an oversized cam and is a gas guzzler. The guy I bought it from said the motor was out of a 79 Lincoln.
