Thanks for all that info. The engine is a stock 1983 305 V8 from an 83 caprice classic estate wagon. Had powersteering, a/c, and air pump. I pulled them all off. Now the 1 belt on it is driving the fan/water pump (of course) and the alternator. I pulled off all the emissions and blocked off all the vacuum ports (capped or hooked to carb) and instead of the 83 computer controlled 4bbl rochester, i put on a late 70s bigblock 700+cfm ($15 works great, can't beat it!) 4bbl rochester qjet. The car is (right now) my daily driver, but gas mileage isn't really a HUGE concern, i went 100+ miles on only 6 gallons, and then drove back on a full tank and have been driving around town for about a week now without needing more gas yet, doing burnouts, and a few races here and there, so i'm getting on it and still maintaining great gas mileage. My next step is to install a new intake manifold (edelbrock Performer w/ egr provision but i'll use the block off plate) Makes for better resale later on heh.

The ONLY mods to the engine are
1. Higher flowing rochester qjet
2. Open element Edelbrock air cleaner
3. Dynomax Blackjack long tube headers
4. Removal of all belt driven accessories cept the alt.
5. radiator from a 90' chevy celebrity. lol.

I put a rebuilt 70nova 350 non-hei (points style) distributor back on it with an accel super stock coil.

My car is on car domain. you can see it, vote on stuff, leave notes, i will have new pics up soon, just got my windshield replaced today! APG, has antenna for AM in window, tint strip up top, looks great!

The car will be used as a weekend cruiser/street strip car.
