that would be sick man. my best friend from back home had a stock 87 firebird with the 305. i think those cars look sexy.
**** im still on the fence of what i want to do to mine lol. one day i stick with n/a and possibly nitrous, next day its a procharger, after that its turbos. all random like wish i would just choose lol. right now ive been sticking with n/a but then its like do i want to just throw heads and cam on the 346 or just wait and build the 408. gaaahhh so annoying.
wish it was easier with this car as it was my 73 nova. 400 sbc 30 over midsize cam with a edelbrock performer intake carb with a set of camel hump heads. car was alot of fun but i was only 16 when me and my uncle built that one. i want the camaro to be more of a strip/ weekend warrior. if i want gas mileage ill just go jump on my sportster lol.

I started building a forged aluminum headed solid cam 383 for it but decided to sell the car to fund my 86 build lol so im gona put that 383 in my 86 k10 and pull with it lol.should be a pretty wild pickup i was shoting to run high 10s in 1/4 with that motor in the car. But ive got 5 vehicles including the wifes car and me having 4 projects gets old so one has to go.

I'm originally from Weyers Cave but I've been in Pa for the last five years. I will be down there for Thanksgiving but in the ladies Acura.LOL There isn't much of a Fbody scene in the valley, mostly imports. I think there are a couple that run up at Eastside but nothing major. I'm going to bring my truck and car down in the spring and go to Eastside with a buddy just to **** off the locals.

My truck is my daily driver too but I don't blame you. I'm hoping to get another daily driver before Spring so I don't have to worry about breaking anymore. I know people that run down at the Bridge and say it's decent.

Yeah i plan to see how fast i can make this boat after we buy a house and get setteled in! I bought a 86 k10 to dd since i needed a pickup and i wanted to save mileage on the yukon and shoot it was only $1500 with 83k original miles on the clock. I ran it for about 2months and then i lost the no.7 piston top ringland. I bought a new mild build 350 for it and the swaped in th350 went lol hopefully ill have a trans for it in the next couple of weeks and to top it off i blew up my first gov bomb in my yukon a few weeks back. Luckaly the r&p were unharmed so to do a quick fix i got another gov bomb to go in until i can aford to go with a true trac.
