About this Current Vehicle:

got this last January for 1400$ proceeded to rip the 305 TPI out of it and put my High comp 355 SBC in it. Car still isnt running perfect and im swapping out my cam and intake again to get some more HP out of it. Pretty much after that it just needs to be tuned and re dynoed and then ill probably leave it alone till next spring when i get my AFR-195 CC heads.

Updated: SO this car missed thsi season altogether, thanks to some friends fuckin up my crank on me.

Very nice Bird man! Very clean and mean looking! I've been wanting to get back into an F-Body so badly.
