Stupid me. I hadn't factored that into my Budget.

Still have the Interior to go through, but screw that. That can wait.

This will never be a SEMA car, more of a take it out and beat it kinda car.

So I have a few months to plan what to do. But to compete with today's new Hot rods, I HAVE to do something.

Back in 1985, With a fresh LT-1, I ruled the streets...Not anymore..

So I just have to plan what I am doing.. I Would have saved some money that I already spent had I known I would be doing engine work. We did the Balancer, Timing chain, Pan leak, ect...

The thing sounds mean with the 280H cam, but it has lost some of it's Mojo..

So I either redo the Top end, or pull the whole thing out..

EDIT... Ron I just saw your build thread....I need to just start over...Your car is Bad A$$.
