how much for that 306 what shape is it in?

 

Also when the car is all apart go buy some POR15 and coat the whole floor engine compartment and underside you will thank me in 20 years when the car is still gloss black where you POR15'ed 20 years ago

 

I haven't pulled the motor yet, but the cylinder walls look fine in dandy. It just ran super rich for a long time. I'm assuming the car was never tuned? Shoot me a pm with an offer that I can't resist.

 

Yeah, Iwas looking at the POR15. I definitely think im gonna go that route once I have everything stripped

what do want for the block and what heads are on it?

Stimmel supposedly wants the heads (windsor jr) for sure and is interested in the shortblock. If he doesnt pick either up you are next in line Sam.

Lots of cheap street guys run chevy motors in fox bodys cuz it's the cheapest route

 

guess im cheap?

Can't say that I like the idea of the chevy motor, but it's your car. Other than that, make sure that you paint over that terrible blue on the bottom of the car. That really looks like shit. When did this car go auto anyway? When I saw it at Dover's it was a 5-spd car I thought.

Im pretty sure the guy I got the car from went auto.

 

Yes, all the blue will be gone and the cancer spots starting will be adressed and hit with POR15

 

ok....off to the garage I go!

Well I didn't get much work done yesterday and decided to go eat some barbeque instead. I only got the passenger floor finished and found the rust hole to be worse than I thought. I had planned to just patch it when the cage goes in, but am unsure now? The drivers side looks to be the same from underneath. Same exact spot too...any opinions would be great.

Well I haven't made much progress, but im getting there lol. I got all the sound deadening out, dash out, some wiring out, started making my cluster, etc. I also picked up some D&D tubular a-arms, Strange 10 ways for the front, black carpet and a couple other little things. Im also about to order some POR15 to patch up a few cancer starting spots in the car. Then I will be painting everything black except the exterior. I should have some new pictures up soon.

 

I was supposed to pick up my tranny today, but was stuck in the garage later than I planned. Hopefuly I can go get it tomorrow afternoon!
