well the intake and carb swap is all done! got the carb for 30 bucks from my dads co-worker (any cons to edlebrock carbs???)
took it for a spin, it needs a new booster (old ones stealing vacuum and leaking) but runs real strong!
so all thats left is:
1. get a new booster
2. buy and install shocks
3. install new power steering box
and a million other small items
