I am so tempted to put a 3310 on it and a performer intake but I would like to put a shaker hood on this car eventually. The engine will probably not even be rebuilt if it runs good. Probably exhaust would be the only modification. And this car is just going to be a street cruiser..maybe a couple smoke shows here and there and a strip run for fun.

There is no reason not to rebuild, calibrate & put back into service.
