i picked up the v8 parts car today i was all excited about being able to put ac in this car
but somehow the ac compressor and brackets dissapered along with the water pump pully,fan and radiator at least thats all i know of right now that is missing

i asked him before i went to pick up the car if all the parts were there and he said every thing except the smog pump was in the trunk

they were starting to pull the motor

its a 4.3 262 v8 that is supose to run i'm thinking about putting it in for now

Hey Peterpan, I see you are missing the AC comp & bracket for your car. Years ago I picked up a Starfire w/ V6 and AC. I was going to put on my V8 car, but later decided to go a different route. I have compressor w/ hoses, bracket, condensor, blower fan and box and related parts. If you are interested let me know. I don't know if these parts will work on the V8. Someone here might know. But like always we H-body guys can be very ingenuitive when necessary. Hope I can help.
later jer

ok i got the v8 parts except the ac brackets and compressor

but now i am undecided if i'm going to put a 4 speed or a turbo 350 in it

and i have the running 4.3 v8 out of the 75 or a goodwrench 350 i could put in it

with the 350 and 4 speed it would be fun to drive but the 4.3 v8 and auto would probably get better mileage

what should i do if i don't put the 4.3v8 in this car i will probally toss it in the dump


and i'm trying to get started on the s-10 ball joint swap so i can do the 5 lug swap on the front

i got the spindals and parts for the swap just need to do the work



i have a set of cutlass rally wheels i think the may look pretty cool on this car what do you guys think
