A chip and some headers; but if you're starting from scratch, stuff a 350 into that 'vette

If you're feeling adventurous, Zack, throw an old 267 ci. into it! All the economy of a 350 with all the power of a 2.8 litre.

But seriously...go 350, find a block with 4-bolt mains and go nuts.

in all honesty a good set up would prolly be a nice overdrive tranny good reag gear (3.08 or some thing 2.73 - for gas mileage) then say a 305/350 good tune up with a nice 4 barrel carb, true dual exhaust and headers. prolly get reasonable mileage

but the fun factor is really lacking [img]graemlins/boring.gif[/img]

or get

a vw golf diesel and get WAY better mileage

Don't bother with the 305. There is no advantage over a 350, only disadvantages such as less torque.

Personally I'd do up a 383 if you are into grunt from the light or a 327 if you like to rat around. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Well PERSONALLY it would more likely be a 383 Commando in a Cuda
