they are great to hot up and great to cruise with and a Chev, OMG, they go very hard and relatively cheap to work, there are heaps of bolt-on options! Get rid of the Dragways for starters and lower it. I know Chevs, I had one that went very hard, they're an awesome engine.

Polished 17" VR clubsport wheels would look good, retro to. Otherwise save for convo pro's or welds. Vert straight!!! Awesome find. My bro had a 350, they go ok, suck the juice though. Go a blower, fisher 6/71 I recon.

no, no, put a set of Cragars or Weld Wheels or Convo Pros on it with some fat rubber on the back, and remove those mud flaps!!!

convo pros mudflaps gone lowered if you wanna change the look of the thing a bit take off the rain gutter (may have to grind it) and i reckon it would look sweet with fuel cap moved to inside the boot then fill the one in the body (not with bog ) take all ya door handles off fill em all in and airfilter or charger stickin out the bonnet would look so good i reckon
