Thanks guys, but I owe it all to a board member here. I don't know his screen name (might be 93TAWicked1 still) whom I bought it off of. It's his old car, I just polished it up some while the weather was nice.

Black car dropped compression on two cylinders. Number three was down to 185 with a 35% leakdown, and number 5 was down to 160 with a 45% leakdown.

I'm getting a 355 from AP Engineering for $2500, and a custom cam on my killer stock ported heads. Should be VERY interesting. I think I'm going to go all out on the cam too, the only stipulation being I can comfortably cruise at 2000 rpm on the freeway. I won't have any heartache taking it up to 6800 on the new motor. I'll keep everyone posted.....
