i saw restore it to original. maybe today they are not worth anything, but look at the 2nd gens, they are starting to pick up value. as the cars go to the junk yard, the rarity increases. so restore it while its cheap, and then store it for 5-10 years. it will be worth something, trust me.

its an 82, so its 26 years old. i think once it hits 30 its a classic, right?

I'd get a hold of a cheap SBC, 383 preferred. Get a decent intake and carb for it, exhaust. Grab a TH-350/400, with a converter. Full suspension. I don't know what rear is in it but if it will hold up that should put you into the 11's without too much fuss if the motor can make in the 300ish range. Of course a sticky tire out back.

Thats what I was thinking, but why does everyone get carb set ups over TPI set ups?

That's what I was going to say. Don't get me wrong, you can build a fine TPI, but that intake has got to go.

TPIS made it better when they came out with the mini ram...which looks like an LT1 manifold but still isnt as easy and cheap and a carb setup. TPI Makes all torque and no hp...thats whay the 86 TPI made 190hp and 285ft lbs torque.

Its because of the way the air flows and the fuel atomizes, but it gets down into a lot of physics and becomes hard to explain if your not familiar with it.

Using a modified LT1 intake is cheaper isn't it?
