I would put a 64-65, 66 super stock scoop on it. Those look the best on a c body if you are going that route.
 
This poor car needs a sticky thread. That 4spd must have put a curse on her!

Thanks for posting that link to the build thread Stan (I believe in the other thread?). Should have added some closure to the end though.. I remember seeing a short vid of it taking off. Got anymore??

On the build thread, I stopped updating it when I had problems with the hydraulic slave and decided to replace everything with a hydraulic thowout bearing. Once again, that was a Pandora Box that killed me for several more months which I didn't write about.
The short video on it's initial voyage is all I got. Rush made a longer one while he had it.

Why did I do it in the first place...
It's something that had festered in my head since the 80s.
Had to do it before time ran out so I did.
Bucket list item, ya know.
 
I just finished watching both vids. Man, got me thinking of a 4spd cordoba!! haha

I know the car has been through hell, but still a bad *** ride!!
 
Find me a very nice Formal Newport and I can have it done perfectly (if not better) in a week for you.
And yes, Cordabas were considered as well.

Does Rush still own it?
 
Care to share?

I modded mine back to small cam.....like the 1974-1977. You need a donor wiper linkage from a 74-77 Formal from the wiper motor to the 1st wiper transmission. The hard part is cutting the donor one from the wiper motor and welding it to the 78 part as shown in the 2 pictures posted. I also cut off the small cam end of the 74-77 linkage rod and welded it on to the 78 linkage rod. I suppose maybe the the 74-77 linkage rod from the wiper motor to the 1st transmission would work after you did the mod posted in my 2 pictures.
