Call me the devils advocate, but i'm all about a sexy looking car. I don't do any racing in my car so thats the way i went. Thats not saying i don't want my car faster, but i would rather cruise in a good looking quick car then a faster junker.

You just need to try it some time. Once you go hunk-'o-junk sleeper you'll never understand why you didn't do it earlier. Wink

I'm with you Jake. Now that I have got rid of my third gens. The only way I will ever get another one is if its in really really good shape to start with.

of course i ganna have to get my own gaskets and bolts...

so now im looking for a good cam...what i need to know is...is my motor setup for a roller cam and lifter from factory or not...i know its got a flat tap in it right now...but if i can manage to afford the roller...that will be the route id go...if not then im ganna stick with a flat for now...the vortecs should bump my compression up to around 9:1 to 9.4:1 depending on head gasket thickness...still gas pump friendly...so any suggestions on cams...this is mainly a street car with some track time...so i need to keep the vacuum up especially since im still running the stock Q-jet carb...i will be still running with...stock exhaust manifolds for the time being until i get money saved up for some ceramic coated ones...so ill make the car look good myself when the weather gets warmer again...got the parts to do it...for the time being i want more hp and tq...i think i ganna try to find either a used rearend with posi...or look for a used posi...anyways thats the plan...
