Ford vs Chevy Build-up

85 was the last year for a carb in these cars, Are you thinking Stock or GT? The 85 302/210 can run a 4bbl. The Blueprint sheet says "F/H" which I think is Ford/Holley.

Stay with the Camaro ... you are so close to racing. The Muscrat would be starting from $cratch !

He's a build addict looking for a new project now that the Camaro is about done (again). As for cost, go back through this thread. The Chevy has broken some big bucks parts that aren't supposed to break like Moser rear ends.

The Ford won't break any parts ?

Only breakage on mine was a ring & pinion.

Well, here we go...

I bought the '90 model this morning from a nice young gal named Shelley...I'm sure she had her fun with it over the years. It was about what I expected to find...pretty much intact with no real rust issues. I still have not dismissed the '89 model and might travel to look at it if I ever get in contact with the seller.

Up on the lift I see no glaring defects other than it had taken a hit to the lower portion of the radiator support at some time in it's life...probably from a tall curb from the looks of it.

Interior is decent...

Top and body are good, but it will need paint.

That spoiler must go lol!

Very subtle looking car. Quite a jump from your Camaro. Welcome to the Dark Side...

What drag racing needs is cars in the lanes. And the more badges and body styles the better.
