The yellow one was a GS. Not sure of the year. May have been a Clone, not an original.

It was said to be out of a 69 delta 88 but the heads are E casting heads which r later casting and r big valve heads too. So I made a call they said with bigger valves that would fit those heads it is said to be a gain of 25 to 35 hp gain. My thoughts are to run a w30 cam with a full roller setup and it should make a nice 455+ whp and also ton of tq. Bald tires and a big tq monster like this motor makes it hard to grip around corners that r wet or in mud of where I parked it in the back yard since I got to get it insured and plated first and the "coMmunity cops" r real douche bags here

that ventura is a nice change of pace than the dog-ugly mid-to-late 70's Novas
is there an echo in here?

here is a quick shot of the bay of the ventura. I also picked up a set of 15x7 snowflakes and 3 used tires for 168 total which is good because the flakes alone can go for 200 on ebay. and besides i can use the flakes on 4 of my cars. I got my t1i today so once I get more used to it I will be posting more pics when I actually have time to

Man , you got lucky, It takes nerve to jew someone down on their price, then tell em you need to make payments, I would have told you to **** off. I hate when people email ad call me trying to talk me down on my stuff I have on craigslist and they haven't even come by and even looked at it. Good deal though. Glad you got lucky.
