i bought this car back in january for $1,000 from a guy local on craigslist. Car had 147*** miles on it and was bought new by them from heritage autogroupe in rome ga, (whom i work for). i had been well maitained untill they parked it about 2 years ago. due to the following reasons. The car ran but had a p0300 code in computer and the engine had water in the oil. First thought was Blown intake gasket. I got the car home and pulled the intake and what do u know the intake gasket was blown (like most are). I figured while i had the intake off i would go ahead and pull the cylinder heads and take to the machine shop that does all my work.
I had them port the heads, and take .007" off the surface of each to true them up. they then performed a valve job on the heads and installed new valve seals.
I purchaced a head gasket set from GM for about 120 bucks,
While i hade the supercharger off i drained the oil and removed the nose cone and took it to work and pressed the pulley off and installed a Intense racing modular pulley hub and a 3.4" pulley.
I also ported out the front exhaust manifold to match the gasket and ported the inlet on the rear header and welded the tubes on the outside to ensure they dont leak.
I installed autolite 104's and a 180* thermostat.
I cut the mufflers off and welded in a set of Thrush Chambered mufflers and 4" round tips.
Future mods will be.
