In response to 6-bangertim
Hey everybody
Thanks for all the suggestions, nice to hear responses...
I will look into those different companies.
Didn't take a compression test yet. Will probably get around to it, but hadn't yet since it seems to be running pretty okay right now. I am sure it could use a tune up, just based on its history and age.
My boyfriend had suggested the 292, but if I was going to go through the time and expense of engine swaps, I would probably just go for something big at that point. But my goal isn't to have the biggest fastest car on the block, it stands out enough as is... And the deal was since it was able to be driven home, and to work and such, no engine swaps unless this one blows up. Might save a little money that way... we hope...
I was asking just to get a feel for what would be involved - this is definitely down the road abit, wanted to familiarise myself with it all, keep an eye on ebay and such. Not in "hot rod" mode yet, no fear.
Came with its service manual, already been in heavy use.
Probably just going to put in the dual carb, new intakes, and dual pipes.
Don't really understand how to put up photos... but did take a bunch today!
