Default 79 Z28 project

Hello all, I'm new here and glad to meet you all I just came into possession of a 79 Z28.Now the really cool part is that it is one of those it was behind the barn and if you want part of it fine, you just have to take it all kind of deals. So I went out behind the barn and out of the weeds I could see the rear spoiler and upon knocking down the weeds I found a mostly intact Camaro Though someone had butchered the hood scoop and hood. Well I have worked in autobody for close to 20 years and figured I could fix that easy enough. Then it was time to try the hood, pretty stiff from sitting but I got it up enough to see underneath, and the block looks like new, moroso rocker covers, aluminum hi rise manifold holly carb, points ignition..I looked up the casting numbers on the block and it is a 4bolt main 350 truck block. All mine for free! It turns out that it has been scavenged for parts starter, fuel pump, alt, coil and other misc. Most of which I robbed off a Chev pu that I'm parting out. Body wise it appears that for what ever reason this car was parked behind the barn after it had been prepped for paint it has like 3 dents in it from it's time in the weeds.So I'm down to finding a coil and a radiator and we will see just whats under the hood. I look forward to picking your brains and sharing what I can with you all. I will post some pics also
