Default bought a project car

a friend called today, he has a 79 trans am with the 403 olds for $1,000. it has some body panels with some bondo patching that needs sanding and a quarter size piece of rust behing the right rear wheel. interior plastics cracked.......motor and transmission rebuilt 15k miles ago. so needless to say i bought a project, and the best part is i traded a boat and trailer i got for free it will sit for a while in the garage while i finish working on my house but i will try and have pics up in the next couple days...hmmmm how to mod it

im gonna try and saty with the olds 403 because of it being numbers matching....or i would do a 6.0 trying to stay original with only a few mods. i want to get that 8:1 compression up so i can get some decent numbers
