If you saw it in person, you'd see the paint is really kind of "meh". It has a lot of orange peel and the car has a million door dings that I didn't even know existed because the old paint was so bad. The only saving grace is that the metallic really pops, but it's actually almost overpowering- what was supposed to be black ends up looking charcoal-copper-ish in the sun (metallic flake is gold-ish), which I have mixed feelings about. I guess I'm overly critical because it's MY car, but I definitely think it could be better. Thanks for the kind words though! Next time I have it at the track, I'll definitely get some glamor shots!
Wait... there are people who are still following this thread?
...but why???
ideas... I would go with a stroker 302 dart/boss/man o' war/etc with 205cc heads, a box upper and a 76mm turbo pushing whatever power you wanted to on the race track while keeping low-end torque somewhat manageable on the streets. Just sayin'... I think that would be cool.
I've done a 351 before. It was a pain in the ass, but man, was it fast. If you think long tube headers on a 302 are a btich, shove a 351 in there and learn new cuss words, haha. I actually have a 96 351 roller longblock on a stand, but I'm going to go dart 302 block to try to keep the weight off the front. I want to carve and that big chunk-o-iron can really be felt up there. Big cubes go real fast, but don't try to turn... The way I see it, all the extra money spent on buying crap to accomdate the 351 block(headers, pan, hood w/ paint, intake, flywheel, balancer, distruibuter FEAD parts) could go toward a dart block..
