I was planning to stick with fuel injection, i still need to pass emissions tests at least once more and its my understanding that fuel injected engines run cleaner. I figure ill put some headers on the new engine i get and then I will be satisfied with that. Maybe in the future ill do more work to it but I need to get the car on the road as soon as i can.
Yes i have an automatic transmission, i was thinking of changing to manual but its too much work, i have a friend that changed his car from auto to manual and he said it was a tremendous amount of work.

I tried uploading a pic of my car so you can all see my baby, i dont know if it will work or not.

She's pretty. I want it. You should definitely make it exactly what you want. I 3rd gen fbody in that kind of condition is either hard to find, or expensive, depending on where you are.

I have friends and family that told me i should just buy a new car instead of a new engine but I have no intentions of getting rid of my car anytime soon. Where I live there is only a handful of cars like mine and only 1 other one is in good condition and it still doesnt look nearly as good as mine.

Besides that, a new car costs a wee bit more than a new engine. Keep Your ride and enjoy it.

Ive been pricing headers online and have one more question. The 350 uses 2 catylitic converters if im not mistaken. Would I be able to use just one like i have now or would there be clearance issuses or something?

You only really need one per pipe. There are some really free flowing ones out there.
