    Its definately a tough decision. I love chevies for their motors, and ive always loved the small block. The same theory transfered over when i discovered buicks, but my small block is a bit of a dog at the moment. Needs to be freshened up with all types of seals, and the advice ive been getting is to drop in a second hand 455 instead of bothering to redo the 350. But the 350's definately pack a punch.

    Thanks, Brian!

    My Lark needs body work and chrome. It is a blast, but a little too rad to run every day. Going back to a Q Jet helped a lot with the driveability.

    Regarding my health - I have had setbacks, but am now really beginning to move forward.

    TTYL,

    Andrew

    Beautiful car, I love the color! Great resurrection, hope it's as fun to drive as it is to look at! :3gears:

    Thanks, I think I like the color too. I didn't really know what color it was or what it would look like until I picked the car up and paid for it.

    It's fun, but not as fun as it should be. The carb leaks so it bogs on acceleration or right after 1-2 shift, plus the trans sometimes takes forever to shift into 2nd. On top of that it sounds like crap becuase I have exhaust leaks everywhere! Smells like gas all the time, choke doesn't work... :af:

    Oh, there's room for improvement here, I'll hopefully be getting all this fixed or upgraded soon. 4-barrel conversion, new exhaust, and filter/fluid for the tranny will hopefully get me into the happy zone.
