    Hi, my name is Jason. I've been lurking around here for a few months. I sold my 68 Camaro project and bought a 53 Chevy 210 Sport Coupe. I think I got a great deal. I paid $4500.00 for it. New paint. Very solid car.

    Current plans -
    Put a new interior in it.
    Get the 235 running.
    Put my side windows in and drive it.

    I'll definitely be here asking questions. I know nothing about the 235. I've always hung out on the First Gen Camaro websites, and have learned alot from those guys. I've just got a new toy.

    Over the years these motors get rebuilt and parts get missmatched. Check the block and the head numbers to see what you have.
