Re: New Here!

Stepho,
They said it was from a 2003 bmw or something like that. Im taking it out because it looks so tacky in the car, with the other seats being stock.
I found on Craigslist a complete set (Front and Back) of seats from an 88 Formula, for $150. im going to get those.

I went to the junk yard today, and picked up a windshield for $75, and bought a radiator from Advanced Auto, $117.94, 125.01 out the door. Going put every thing in today, and go to another junk yard and look for some dash/console pieces.

Im also thinking about getting a different engine. My friends tell me a 350, others have told me find a 389 out of an old car....

What can I do to this 305 to get some good power out of it? A price range would help too.

Engine is a 305 LO3 TBI. The engine as it sits, starts up instantly almost, has good oil pressure, and each cylinder has 100-120 lbs of compression. Would it still be wise to change the rings and all the gaskets/seals in the engine?
