project incouragment
I gave up on most people.
In a way its good few folks think these old cars can no way in hell be quicker than a new sports car. Good cause its harder to get drag in to court, ha ha.
You should be doing this to please yourself, oh I know, showing off is fun, I'm sure guilty of it.
You gotta think twice before you buy. Getting the car running would be first on my list. Dress it up later on. Smart on looking for an 8 3/4 but if the price is right and it fits, an 8 1/4 can handle some power. Only thing is your suck with one gear ratio, 8 3/4 are easier to change at home--but they aren't cheap.
