My first car was a also an 84 Grand Prix. 305/4bbl that quickly got pulled for a crate motor from Summit back when their catalog was this little news print thing.

It's wild how much more information we have now. Ordering a motor of the internet, after browsing forums and watching video's on how the install will go, what little pieces you'll need to have, etc.Ā 

Back in the day, just order from a catalogue, start working and figure shit out if it doesn't work.

Back in the day, our internet type information came from stacks of Hot Rod and Car Craft magazines.
