This is one of the most classic car guy article I have seen in awhile.

Would a 800cfm quadrajet be too big for a Pontiac 400? I've got one laying around but I feel like it'd be overkill

Eaton style posi vs lunchbox locker vs mini spool for street use rear end. Also your favorite gear ratio for. Street and highway car with a 3 speed

They had stock 800s (or 850s can't remember) after 72, so it should be fine.

Also depends on what size tires youre gonna run.

Im gonna go check out that 66 mustang tomorrow, what else should i look for on it?

>oil and coolant for milkshake
>kick panels and under carpet for rust
>back window and drip rails for rust
>check for oil leaks

Im also gonna bring a gallon of water to pour on it to see if any windows leak or if the cowl is rusted out.

>be me
>have 79 camaro with completely redone leather interior plus new carpet and headliner, factory correct everything inside
>freshly rebuilt 355 with new internals, cam and rollers rockers and dumped the smog era heads runs like a bat outta hell now
> basically only needed body panel alignment and paint when I got it, 5k California super markup for "classic" pony cars
>drop in shorty headers, supercharger, TCI streetfighter and a ton of other shit maximizing performance while keeping it "smog legal"
>maybe 9k total spent on this thing
>mother in law "hurrrr user your so dumb for the money you spent on that thing and plus what u put into it you could buy a brand new truck! Everything's gonna brake down on that old junker!"

Why are normies so retarded? A new Chevy pickup truck is like 60k minimum. Wow I sure could've used my 9k total and bought a brand new Silverado 2018 with that. They also don't understand that other than the chassis literally nothing old is in this in car anymore. Everything has been done.

I feel you. My fiance gets mad at me because im constantly wanting a new classic right after i sold my other one.

Even dropped the "why do you want an old car anyways? You have a new truck!" line.

Its just a passion normies dont get.

Granted ive spent way more money on my passions, but i can also afford it. Ill still bitch about the bills, but id do that even if i was a millionaire.

>lunchbox locker

Do you want to be able to turn? Like on to a side street or into a driveway.

If yes, then the lunckbox is out.

Well you do change cars like socks, so (hate to say this) she has a point.

Why can't you find one and stick to it? You're like my friend with ADD. He'll get on a new thing every few weeks, put about $50 into it, then it's off to the next "passion".

Focus, you fuck!
