Im calling a machine shop tomorrow morning to have them check out the 289 i bought and see if it needs to be bored out or just rehoned, and what they'll charge to rebuild the heads.

Neat, if they don't want a arm and leg, leave there details, might have them do some work for me later.

There's so much of it I can't even pinpoint the leak. At the very least, I found my freon leak while I was poking around in there, so the day wasn't a total loss

Finally gonna get around to messing with the car today. Will take some pictures later, and report on all the damage that isn't what I can clearly see without unfolding things and all that.

Going to go look at the Falcon/Ranchero today. Idk how i feel about trading the camaro for it.

Looks like it's time to buy tires. At least I can now have some white letters.

Much rarer than a camaro, and your year isn't a fantastic 2nd gen, look wise. (78-81 looked the best).

Can put off road tires on it for a more aggressive look.

Go for the Ranchero! You don't see those often!

I found this and I'm maybe smitten. Please reason me out of it Veeky Forums
