hey pat i have no idea why but i posted a response as soon as you posted your message, but it never came up. so ill make my long answer into a short one, since my dad brought home his 68 chevelle home when i was 10 or 11 i promised myself that as soon i was able to get one i would, im 25 now so for about last 15 years ive been painting a picture of a chevelle in my head, and thats to have 500 ponys underneath my hood, i know if i just dont go all out right now ill regret it, and doing right now why the motor out i guess would be the cost effective way of doing it.
