Provided you could get this Z cheap enough, seems likely, a daily driver could easily be put together. A. the Z is somewhat local to you. B. you have the replacement body parts. C. you seem to have a vast resource as far as engines. My quick plan is: put together a "mild" 350 or 400 sbc, with "mild" heads, a nice comp cams 292H cam, an eddy torker II intake or similar, 750 Holley carb, some block hugger headers, the TH2004R from the Monte, with maybe a 3000 or so stall converter. Install this combo with the inexpensive JTR mount kit and you have a "cheap" decent daily driver. Although I am sure you would consider this combo "ultra-mild". It would sound nice, have some decent power for a street daily driver, and be "easy" to build. Just be sure to use the high tech throttle linkage and wiring from the Pinks Z..........LOL, just kidding! If you hurry up, I may be able to drive down from Denver, and at least help you get started, before my "hybrid ankle" surgery scheduled for Oct. 9th. Now, go get that Z.
