OK here's what I have..it's an 81 Z-28 t top car perfect body ready to paint. My wife drove it to high school back some 17 years ago (i didn't tell U guys that!) the car was her brothers. He blew the motor back in early 91. It sat in a barn from 91 to Xmas 95 when we ( i ) took it to Jeff Potts's body shop...where he got it "ready" to paint (it still has the door locks & handles taped up! ) it hadn't seen the light of day till I bought it back in June. Now then what I want to do with it.....I want it to be streetable but still be able to "bracket" race it. It's Marissa's car she going to drive it most of the time but I want something to bracket race other then my Cutlass. that said I want it to run mid to high 12's like my cutlass. What I have is a standard bore 400sb I have a 1.82 powerglide with a turbo action manual valve body or a 350 turbo the car has a 3.42 gear & posi that is going to stay! now then I have 2 plans 1) I have a set of 624 heads untouched an edelbrock proformer intake..do I have a set of 1.94 1.50 stainless valves put in them with a set of dish pistons an I'm looking @ the 327/350 hp blueprinted cam & having someone do me a Q-jet. OR 2) do I buy a set of alum. heads & put a hyd roller cam in it??? I just want the car to run somewhere between 12.60 & 12.90....I also want Marissa to be able to drive it in to get a pizza (& some beer! LOL) (I live 3 miles from town) WHAT WOULD U GUYS DO????
