Could you V8 guys give me an idea as to how much it would cost to add a basic V8 conversion to my '72..... Idea with it installed and for me to install. I have been thinking about this for a winter project. I do have a 350 sitting in the garage that runs or ran great. I have this itch to buy a corvette and I want it to go away!

i recently replaced my front brake calipers with seemingly better ones and popped in some porterfield pads. i also installed a rebuilt peddle assy and a nice used oem gas peddle. also installed a terry cable - 18 inches longer - throttle cable. she is running pretty good right now. i think my 4 barrels are finally opening up almost all the way : ))
i look forward to some new ball joints and ties rods - one day. i will get a new video asap. looking forward to ECC 2008. root - without him - i'd still have a 914 powered by a 1.7 with no compression. here is a pic of root under my car the week i bought it, i knew him shorter than i owned my car. Attached image(s)
