It's so original and I wanted to keep her that way instead of butchering her like every other (yaaaawn) Camaro out there and I always swore I'd never do this. Unfortunately, the PG blew up on the way home from work one night over a year ago and I put it aside until this weekend when I went to pull the trans. Unfortunately, I couldn't get to 2 of the bolts and realized it would be easier to just pull out all the organs at once in order to pull the trans so that's what I did. Now I'm seriously tempted to stuff a 1968 truck 327 in there along with a 2004R or a TH350, all of which I have sitting around unused. At minimum I have some serious cleaning to do and I'll pull apart the PG and fix it. Once it's all done I'll have to decide which direction to go. I've got a bunch of L6 accessories like PS pump/brackets, Offy intake, Crane Cams 260H that I've been saving for years, however I sure love the hp of the V8 that I've had in my 68 C10 for several years. I don't know what I'm ultimately going to do- I'm really torn!

Keep it all original. Very few left like that. V8's are a dime a dozen at the car shows that it's almost boring to look at them.
