Denver Bronco worth it?

They all sound reasonable to me so far. But then, I'm a bit biased on that score!;D

However, what I see there is that nothing is irreversible other than the floor shifter being harder to make stock again. Should that ever become an issue.
Which for now it still does not seem to be as far as overall values are concerned. Upgrades like those you plan rarely lower value, and often enhance it.
But maybe you were not asking about value, as much as you were about the desirability of the parts?

What kind of a restoration are you planning, that has original paint and body? New engine? Rebuilt original or substitute?

Okay, thanks for the input! As far as restoration goes, it will be be the rebuilt 302. I shouldn’t say totally original paint as body. I need to replace a rocker panel, taillight housing, and get inner fenders, fenders, hood and grille painted.

I hear 'ya. That's pretty much how my '68 is. It looks all original because the guy painting it knew how to blend like the pro that he is. But it's really only about 70% original paint. New rear quarters to go back to uncut was the main change.
