As I mentioned in the "....non F-bod project..." topic, I was looking at an old ITA Starfire. I bought the thing, (still had its' log book), and am in the process of inventorying the spare parts, and giving it a thorough cleaning. It had a Buick even fire 231cid V6. I got a lot of good parts with it including a previously machined block, a turned crank, headers, new pistons, bearings, valves etc, even a set of 13"x8"wheels!Do any of you have any experience with these engines? I don't need a power house, but is 200 reliable hp possible with bolt ons? Thank God for a patient wife. Mine took one look at the battered Olds sitting on the trailer and said, "Boy, THAT'S pretty!". (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

Crap. I was hoping it was a lost cause, and couldn't race anywhere. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Now it looks like I have another venue to consider. I have to complete a couple of jobs around the house, (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/whip.gif) then I'm going to get going on it. Thanks for the rule information. It sounds very tempting. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif)
