just wanted to give a quick update...
I did a little work on the car. Pulled the nasty headliner out of it and the roof is rust free. I also pulled the carpet out of it and found out that the driver floorboard looks like swiss cheese so ill have to replace it.
My father-in-law has a 454ci Big Block Chevy sitting in his garage that hasnt been touched for years. He said that if i come pick it up, i can have it.
That being said, im taking a trip down to SoCal feb 16th to visit and celebrate his 60th bday as well as pick up the motor. He also said his coworker has a TH-350 that i can have if i want it. It has a BBC bellhousing on it right now so it will bolt right up.
I have heard that the TH350 isnt going to hold up to the big block power or the 5500lb car but im going to give it a shot and see what happens.
With any luck, ill get new floor boards in the car before the summer and ill be driving it :rock:
