It's a coin toss right now. A friend has a good deal on a fresh built 454. The thought of just doing a Edelbrock head, cam and intake seems to be sounding good. Now you have just added to the dice roll. Thanks!!!
I think the Edelbrock combo and a set of headers and 2 1/2" exhaust would be the cat's pajamas!

My grandpa packed one all over the Pacific. 5’5” in boots and about 130, oddly enough his name was Frank.
 
I'd sell it for being a high school girl car 😆

If I wasn't giant and poor I'd get a fox body with a small block like everyone else to screw around with.

This one is stock and only makes 205hp so I guess it's junk. It's still cooler than one of those morbidly obese new Challengers.

Not a jab at you by the way.

Picked up my next project today. 77 Monte Carlo. One owner car with 133K miles on it. I got a copy of the original window sticker, owners manual, dealer broucher, service manual and some other stuff. Sticker price of $7500 for the car with the options of electric windows, cruise control, power drivers seat and power locks.
First question the wife asked was, what motor are you putting in it?
Some dents and rust but I think it will be a nice cruiser when I get done with it.

Nice snag! That thing looks like it's been hermetically sealed.

Bottom of the doors are rotted. So is the passenger rear quarter where the landau top meets the top of the quarter panel.
But for $1600 it was a good find. The power sun roof was a plus also. I haven't seen but a few of them with the factory sun roof.

With just brake upgrades and a few HP tweeks you would be amazed at how fast a 5.0 mustang can go. They make a damn good road racing car too.
 
Your daughter is a natural artist. She has a great eye and hand. Oh, and I’m no art teacher nor otherwise involved with anything other than woodworking and crafts, I’m just saying.
Thanks!
Both my kids have pretty good artistic abilities for sure. I guess I should clarify, I don’t get the art scene. The cow I absolutely love, and made sure her teacher knew it would be coming home to be displayed.

500 ft lbs 420 HP, no fancy electronics, turbo, blower, injectors, just a Holley with pump gas.
Man, don't you just love it, when folks say something like, Oldsmobiles are nice family cars but they aren't fast, then you spank the hell out of them in a red light race? It brought me great satisfaction outrunning mustangs and camaros, with mine. Makes me jones for another one!
