DONT CHANGE THE FACE! look, at least make it look like a 79 if u want to be cheap http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...0%201&comp=LRS
great progress but BOO for wanting to change to an aero, even if you are on a budget

ok fellers, havent updated this thread in a while. been keeping it updated over at foureyedpride.com
since the last post. i have made quite some progress... got me a new 85lx front nose for $20.
got all the paint stripped off the body basically. sanded. rust gone. and dad primed it
VOILLAAAAAA
....not bad not bad for a 17year old who aint got a job. hahahaha. ive been doing some work on peoples cars lately getting paid. like i just did a engineswap in my cousins civic for $200... yea i know cheap.. but i got a lexus coming by that im doing a timing belt and fuel pump on. and a fuel pump on a ranger for my grandpa so im making some money
I had a revelation not long ago... engine was taken the machine shop (for my 18th b-day) and it needed to be bored.. so it was bored and honed .30 over... i was gonna go with a 306. but i changed my mind.... Im saving up for scat 331 stroker now. hehehe. i got 2 buddies with 331's in there 1st gen stangs. but ill have the Fuel injected stroker.. got the engine back from the machien shop today. and here she is
anybody got ideas for what color to paint it? dad wants to paint it next month. all teh four eyes ive seen on the street were either white or black. so were gonna do something different. he mentioned maybe a burnt orange? possibly.. would definately stand out

as far as mjr said , yes charge more
how about grabber green,this was my last motor =306
and so u know a 331 u will need a stroker kit=1000 and then new balancer,flywheel,bigger than stock cam,injectors,intake and definetely heads, if u have the money cool just letting u know as for a 306 rebuilt u could use all your stock stuff and a few upgraded parts for a few bucks, just saying strokers start adding up when u got to buy everything
