I've never thought shocks made that much difference on a street car.  I never saw any reason to put expensive shocks on a car.  I just got rid of my antique KYB gas shocks and dropped the coin on a set of QA1 coil overs on the front, and stock style on the rear.   I primarily did this as I wanted coil overs on the front to be able to adjust the ride height.  What a difference the QA1 shocks made in the ride quality!  No longer did it feel my teeth were being rattled out of my head.  The other great thing on the QA1 shocks is that they're adjustable with just the turn of a knob.  I have the single adjustable shocks versus the double adjustable versions. 
 
 

I have a  TKX in my 70.  But I have a different transmission mount from those.  I have no idea what brand it is as it came with the car.  The first mount you showed should work just fine.

Back in the 1980's a buddy of mine dropped a stock 460 into a 1970 Mach 1 Q code 4 speed. His car was missing the 428CJ.  The car was not that fast.  Spark plug changes were not fun.  Even though it was already a big block car, he had to do a lot of changes to get the 385 series (429/460) engine to work in the car.  I almost dropped a stock 429 into a previous 70 Sportsroof I had back in the 1980's.  I ended up putting a mildly built 351C in my car instead.  I'm glad I didn't put the 429 in the car.

Sounds like some great music to my ears.  Better than the stuff I have to put up with at work that makes my ears bleed.

I had to pull the transmission to address an oil leak today.  I figured a short video with open headers before I bolted the exhaust back on was in order.  I didn't rev it more than about 3,500 rpm.

I know I'm a little late to the conversation, but I too used a 5.0 thermostat housing on my 393W.  It worked out perfect with my oversized radiator. 
 
 

I have all Autometer gauges in an aftermarket instrument panel.  I had to wire them in to the stock harness.  That was not a big deal as the only things I need were 12V power, instrument light, and fuel gauge sending wire.  I run a mechanical water temp and oil pressure gauges along with an electronic speedometer.  My tach is wired into my MSD box velcro'd to the passenger side cowl above the vent. 
 
 

I'm getting ready to redo my parking brake mechanism. How did you clean your's? Media blasting? Did you dissemble it? I notice your's is missing the return spring too. What are you planning to use for a spring?
 
Thanks
