Well guys i ended up finely pulling off a full time job to coincide with my part time job been looking for almost a year... So I've decided on a full rebuild of the 230. Also decided I'm going to get a newer car so i stop running into problems with getting to work in these old beasts. I'm half way tempted to go get a 2014 impala
Started on the split manifold tonight here's what i got so far!
Tomorrow with the mig welder my BBQ and a bit of patience i hope to have her finished.
