Backyard engineeering rarely results in a better car
then what came from the factory; unfortunately it usually results in an
unfinished butchered car that no one can drive, let alone safely. The local ad
sheets have at least a handfull of this "scrap iron" put up for sale
every week. The sad part is that all of them think that they have added
thousands of dollars in value by chopping up an original car even when they
aren't even close to being roadworthy. As a result they sit, rust, and
eventually become little more then parts cars since no one wants to pick up
where they left off.
My thinking is to get the car running as original,
drive it a while, and then make a decision about any upgrades. However adding
fuel injection to a 392 is a fool's bargain since it won't make the car run any
better and will cost thousands that would be better spent on paint and
upholstery. We all know the reasons why these conversions are a waste of time
from a practical standpoint, it's not economically justified to do any of it,
quite frankly I think that this thread is flame bait and should be treated as
such.
