well I might as well tell whats goin on with it. a few month's ago the engine started to knock a little bit I thought it was a pistion ring and if I kept it under 2000 rpms it would be ok for a little while until I got enough money for a new engine. well it turns out I was wrong lol. it siezed up a little while ago. but the good news is I found out it is a 72 350 by the block and head casting #'s. I just thought it was one of them factory freaks or something but nope it is indeed a 350 hopeing a 4 bolt not sure yet havent pulled the engine yet. so Im gonna take it to a buddy of my uncles shop hopefully this weekend. I hopeing to get somewhere around 350 hp out of it. Also was thinking of building it into a 383 stroker or getting some aluminum heads for it. but money is an issue so I may be able to get aluminum heads for it but I doubt I can make it into a 383.

My first car was a 79 mercury capri 5.0 for 400 bucks. Yes it was rusted , old ,beaten, but i had so much fun with it, don't have to worry about scratches, theft...plus i learned a lot working on it. We all have to start somewhere.

Yea thats what my dad told lol. He said there pretty decent cars for what they are. But Ive only seen on 78-80 monte carlo on the street in my whole life lol and that was only last week it was a dark brown. I gotta say it really dosent matter what color theses cars are they look pretty nice. And the best thing about this car is that I bought it for only 1000 bucks.
