I'm in love with this car, and I can't wait to finish it. My timeline to have it done and fully built is one year, and then after that.... PROCHARGER.......

just traded the 89 off for a 92 RS. It's red with black stripes. I'll have pics up soon. The motor is a 305 TBI. It has a knock in it, is there any quick way to fix this? If not, I'll probably swap to a 350 SBC.

You are going to get alot of folks to say go with the 350 SBC, including me. Like andross said, could be a number of things causing the knock. Do a good tune up and see if its still there (odds are it will be). However, you will have a better idea of where its coming from with new oil and plugs ruled out.

If your wanting a 350 now would be the time to do it. If its knocking your most likely gonna have to rebuild it
