As the economy gets worse, pricing is getting more reasonable. I'm sure you already know this, but body condition is probably the most critical factor.

Yeah I hate body work, I figured I'd start looking again before christmas time. I have always been able to find really good deals around the holidays.

I love the plans for the car. As for the rear end, are you just going to have it cleaned & repainted? New Gardner exhaust maybe? If you need additional help, just give me a call. |

I will probably go with a Gardner exhaust connected to Doug Thorley headers. The headers came in already. One slight problem is that I'd like to keep everything totally stock. A stock 302 had a compression ratio of 11.5:1 which means it will probably run terrible on pump gas. There is a Sunoco station about 2 miles from Kaman in Bloomfield CT where I could get Sunoco 260 GT100 which is 100 octane unleaded so it wouldn't be too bad. Thanks for the offer to help. If I run into a bind, I might take you up on that.

you are doin the proper head work to run unleaded right? 11.5 on a cast head you are asking for a hole in a piston. 100 octane Might solve it lead additive is an option or get aluminum heads? and pain them to "look" correct but save all the original pieces?

I made a mistake on the compression ratio. It's supposed to be 11:1.
It looks like a lot of guys run aviation gas: http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=2355.0;all
