I don't think I would go with a Tarantula manifold. It will kill any torque that the 302 has left. I had a '68 Z from '71 to '73. I made this mistake. Even with 4:10 gears it was terrible to drive in stop and go traffic. I ended up putting an Offenhauser dual port 360 on the car to get better driveability.

No worries at all...and just for the record, this car will not be running a 302.

It gets a solid roller build with an M23 trans. Inside that case is where the magic starts to happen.

There’s plenty of hipster thrift shops here in Long Beach selling vintage clothing. Day 2 plaid pants probably “worth” a couple hundred bucks today haha

Yep, these are plaid 'bell bottom' pants. Notice the guys also have colors that go with the cars. I'll do it if Graeme will...

My wife found me a pair on Amazon and said "You gotta do this when the car is finished". I'd want the hat to go with it.

Sorry Graeme, reproduction Day 2 pants from Amazon won't cut it. Just send me your waist size and I'll pick some up for you down here. You can get them tailored to your fit

The wife of the owner of a Dale COPO Camaro in barn finds at MCACN had an orange houndstooth skirt made to match the interior of their car.

Her name was Candi, his name has slipped my mind.... certain names seem to stick... :-)
