Me....just past mid 40's and still have my High School car.
It has not been on the road since 1987 when the engine went south.
I tried to do a total rebuild in 1990, but the body shop went out of business and I had to go get the car parts that remained by flashlight.
Tried again about 1998 and made good progress until the experience at the shop left. They asked me to pick up the car and 3 months later they were gone.
Every time I got under the car I got pissed due to the shoddy work they did, when in the beginning it was SO quality.
They got the engine and trans in as their last steps.......all of it has to come back out as they put a manual motor plate in front of an auto trans.
engine is a 351c block from a pantera.
trans is a C6 with a 1:1 final drive, for highway, but different first to help launch
I have a b&m blower for it along with the super street charger cam theat they recommended.
2v heads I stuffed 4v valves in......the stuff that was a good ideal 20yrs ago looking at alum heads now. I can't remember if we o-ringed the block.
Well that should get us started.
Thanks for having me
