Newbie from Indiana

Hello. I have a 1965 F-85 with a 330. My dad bought the car for $50 about 20 years ago when I was around 5. He did a moderate restoration on it and then sold it a couple years later with a buick motor in it. The original motor was locked up. About 6-7 years after that we found it for sale again and bought it back and rebuilt the original engine. He gave it to me when I was sixteen as my first car. I am now a technician by trade because of that car. Good memories. Now that I am older I am redoing it again but this time a little nicer. I found a 455 out of a 72 w30 I am rebuilding to put in it. Any advice would be great!
