I found out a few days ago that the engine the car had is actually a 305 (5.0 L) instead of a 350 (5.7 L) that the car was supposed to have.
I have decided to hold off on putting in a new engine because of money limitations. I am going to save up some money and build a 383 with around 400 HP and hopefully put it in next winter.
Picked up a center console with cut outs for window and hatch release switches out of an 89 IROC. Also got a great condition shifter plate, fuse box cover, and hatch trim all for $30.
Body Parts Donor (89 RS):
Exhaust and Secondary Fuse Box:
Hooker 3" exhaust system from summit - http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=HOK-16823HKR
145 MPH Speedo and New Dash Cap:
Found these at a junk yard. Only $50 for the speedo and $30 for the dash cap!
Edelbrock Performer-Link timing chain:
I got this chain from Summit to replace the old and stretched out chain.
New Ignition Stuff:
MSD Cap and Rotor, Autolite 26 Spark Plugs, and MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor wires all from Summit.
