Well I've decided I'm going to finish my car this year, money willing. I have around $2k in the bank and I'm going to put away $500 a month just for my car. Right now my car is pretty stock. Only mods are an MSD Ignition, Edelbrock Performer Intake, Edelbrock #1406 Carb, 1" Spacer, Front & Rear Sway Bars, Curved Monte Carlo Bar, Gas-A-Just Shocks, long tube headers, & dual exhaust
Transmission - This is my daily driver and I need some decent gas mileage. Id like to upgrade to AOD + B&M Holeshot Converter.
Cooling - I live in AZ and damn is it hot. If I'm going to beef up my engine I'm defiantly going to need an Aluminum Radiator and Electric Fan. After market water pump would be nice as well.
Brakes - With added HP all need more stopping power. Front disc brakes is a must along with new Master Cyl and maybe a Mini Booster.
Steering/Suspension - Complete rebuild, after market stuff. / Leaf & coil springs.
Interior - Hi-Back Seats, Seat Foam, Seat Covers, & Carpet. Are the Lo-Back seats convertible to Hi-Back w/new seat foam? I read this somewhere.
A/C - Did I mention I live in Arizona? Need complete system minus evaporator.
Engine - Is my 289 even worth rebuilding? Heads 1.90/1.60, Cam, Timing Chain, Roller rockers, lifters, ext ext. I don't need a lot of power. 250RWHP would be plenty for me.
There's other things Id like to do down the road, but Id like to accomplish as many as the things I listed this year if possible. Should I tackle the easier cheap things 1st. Like Interior and Cooling, and then what?
What's your thoughts?
