Anyway, currently sporting a good running, no power having 350ci / A3 with a 10-Bolt It is a power steering/power disk brake car. After the holiday season, I will decide on motor and pick up the block. Then I will decide on weather to use original parts or do things like Global West control arms etc...

If you're looking for some tubular control arms hook up with Vinny from 860 Performance as I believe he's got some for sale.

Least i have money to pay for my ****. I dont have to go back 40 years to afford a camaro. And don drives everyones high hp setup at the track. I have driven mine plenty on every setup. He tore the k member at the track that day. HE drives them to make sure they are correct and dont blow up every run like yours did. I havent done one thing to my car all season...hmmm...how was yours mr head gaskets. Too bad you cant shift a car and need huge slicks and an auto...135mph...pfft..my lowest boost nets me that.

Enjoy your redneck yacht. Mikes is clean at least, not a birds nest.

Mind your business, my brother is involved in that car and im giving mike ****.

I think you should check out the Dec. issue of Chevy High Performance. Cover car is a 1st class '71 Camaro. The car is killer---maybe it will give you a few ideas....best wishes w/your project. WJ

It would have been cheaper for me to lower the compression and keep the car running 10 flats vs. dumping it and getting what I wanted so I'm not sure where the "can't afford it" barb came from?

My point exactly....break your own stuff

Easy now, I got at least 5-6 runs per head gasket and at least I admit it vs. other people who run and hide???

I can wheel a stick if needed but as I'm currently missing pieces in my left knee from a motorcycle accident I prefer the Auto.

Other than that, good talking to ya

LOL!!! Wow. I enjoy Mike giving me **** as well as his brother. Sheesh. I know what you meant and John said it is an excellent candidate for a frame off... maybe someday.
Thanks for the heads up WJ - I will have to check it out. Working for the Corvette restoration shop has made me want to go original, just bump it up to the 396/375HP car since I can find all the parts through him, but the RestoRods seem to be pulling in all the money lately... I dunno

nice car..

I do miss my formula though. My 69 is going pro-tour setup.. I got the big brakes, 6 speed and I hope to bump the power up this winter.

For protour type web site, try these two.. Warning.. its addicting seeing the nice cars on these site.
