I took my original ones off the last time I had it painted....
The painter said IF I should replace them to use tape and NOT drill holes because water' just sits'  in the holes and you know what happens when water 'just sits' on arn....iron oxide develops !
Mine were in pretty poor shape mainly because wind & road rash on the side of the car is pretty rough.
IF you tape them on (OR RTV) you can easily replace them when they get worn. (They are a bugger to get to to remove as you prolly know)

Stock Mustang front end or Shelby front apron. I switched to Shelby and heating problems went away.
1.Flush radiator and use DISTILLED WATER and antifreeze.
2.Use a FULL shroud.
3.Fan half sticking outta shroud?
4.Remove thermostat and see what happens
5.Turning on the heater make any difference?

Don't go too MILD on that camshaft (of course 6sally6 would say that !!)
A lot of fellas are sooo afraid they will ruin the low end by going too big so they weenie out and get something mild ..too mild.
Duration and LSA is where pick up power with restrictive heads. You can slam the valves open 6 inch butt if the ports/heads are restrictive .....ya ain't gonna gain anything butt-head aches.
Look at dirt track camshafts for 6 cylinders. They hafta make power out of the corners and VERY quickly before the straight away runs out. A LOT like around town driving. Forget about RPM's in the 7's-8's.....you'll never get there.
Short LSA numbers make low end power quickly...to about 5 grand, then they are done.
So it idles snotty....so what ! You have a good first gear (using a 5 speed) to get ya going. Don't be skeered of a little rough idle...that's why you got a clutch & accelerator .
Think about lightening the flywheel too. It won't give you more power but it will give you quicker REV's.
5 speed and an 8" rear with mid to high 350 ratio  open HEADERS and lotsa smiles.
You may not go 130 mph butt your brain will react like you are !!

I ran an 'auxillary' fuse block a few years back....
It comes right off the battery(in the trunk) and under the carpet/rocker panel to under the dash on the PASS SIDE!
I left plenty of slack in the wire so I could plug&play&troubleshoot withOUT standing on my head to get to the block!
When I'm finished I can lay it on top of the heater box outta sight. (can use velcro to hold it in place)
I bought the block at West Marine. A little pricey butt... a nice piece with a clear cover.
Jus say'in
