After cruisin the coast, I decided to redo the car, hence part 2. Long term goal is to attend open track days/auto x/USCA events - rather than attending car shows which I find boring.

Plans include:
-6 speed swap. I picked up a completed TR6060/DYAD clutch set up from someone converting a 5th-gen Camaro to a drag car.
-More power.
-Clean up the car wiring, and convert the old style connectors to modern Delphi/GT type connectors.
-Convert to PWM fan control.
-Coil over conversion/reinforce front sway bar mount.
-Stiffed up the sub frame/body. Seal up any gaps.

In Oct, the car joined the elite group of "pro-jack stand" group of cars on lat-g.

Had the 5.3/4l60e pulled out and sold in short order.

Good reason to reinforce the sway bar mount. Not sure if that explained the car was somewhat twitchy during the drive to CC.
