what ever you do save all the orginal parts to put it back to factory stock, I would even go as far as pulling the org. engine and build a different block just in case you throw a rod or something. that way the org. is safe
Is it auto or man trans?
you have any pics?
the second gens are starting to bring some money now that the first gens are so high now

Go ahead and change things to get it faster, nuthing wrong with that .
Just keep it to where you can put it back to factory org. at any time.
You never know what might come up and you need the cash
sounds like it should run pretty good
where are you from?
As you can see there are not many on here with first or second gen's. I wish there were more. I keep feeling like I'm to old to be on here some times
If you like I have pics of my car as I did the body work

its a SBC350, TH/400, 12 bolt with 4:11. mine is still in the garage also, hasnt been on the road since 1997. my wife got it when we were in highschool in 1975. I'm slowly putting it back together. I'm trying to get my sons 72 Nova together first then I will go back to mine. My other son has a 95 V6 and a 97 Z/28 Camaro
