Mike,
Thanks a ton. That gives me more than a good start. I think you covered just about anything I could ask at this point in time. I'm pretty sure with all the info combined from everyone here I should be headed in the right direction now. Your'e right on the trans, Its not a C6. The carb is a 4barrel and the car has the 390 emblem on the side, so it should be a 390. Thanks for the advice on working with the torque. I believe that had quite a bit from the factory already, so it shouldnt be too tough to do. Thanks again to everyone here and I'll print off these posts to keep for reference.
Mike
