Yea I agree. Ill definitely be focusing mostly on the engine at first. I have some body panels and interior parts I need to swap out as well.

Here are some pics I took today. They look similar to other ones but they are new. Cant decide if i want to mess with the boat anchor 305 anymore or just go bigger from the start.

And I picked these up to day for a dirt cheap price. But I dont think they will fit without spacers and I dont believe in spacers so they will probably end up back for sale. Anyone know for sure if they will fit?

Nice wheels they'll look good on there, but going bigger will give you more bang for your buck. You looking to go with the 350 or something else?

and for the wheels to fit you will need adapters but here's a link of pics that has those wheels fitted in case you change your mind and decide to keep them. My 91 RS gets some Corvette wheels! - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Prolly just a built 350 and what size spacers do I need? They came with (2) 1-1/2" spacers.

They might work, but a lot of people doing the corvette wheels or 4th gen wheels use the 2" spacers

Yea i just seen they where 18" and 20" and the 20" rims have 305s on them so they are pretty wide. Do you think i need spacers all around?

yes you'll need 4 spacers unless your planing on changing the rear then you may only need the 2 for the front.
