I'm looking to improve the drivability of my 74. I'm a little tired of the sloppy shifting (3 on the tree), sloppy steering, shaky clutch if I'm not paying enough attention, low power, etc. I don't have power brakes or steering. Original engine, 31 inch tires, no lift, uncut, etc. My ride is pretty original, if that matters.
So, I'm trying to decide whether I take steps to boost power, clean up the clutch, get new shifting components, etc. Or, maybe I bite the bigger bullet and go engine replacement, new clutch, 4 (or 5) on the floor, etc. I'm no mechanic, so all steps would be paid for. I have some budget for it, but not unlimited (no Coyote conversions, etc.)
Is there a discussion to be had from that, or is that just too general?
Thanks for any thoughts.
