Recieved a half serious offer on the 67 today..As you guys know one of these cars has to go..

If I got to keep the Z instead of the other I dont think Id be happy with it with just a top end port job, headers, etc.I could be wrong thouhg...Just doesnt seem like enough.. Being as I do my own work, porting, whats the best bang for the buck to get to the power goal Id want. Im not sending it to some overpriced (albeit good, Im sure) tuner, Id be buying my own crank, rods, etc and getting my machine work done locally.

I still have to somehow squeak past smog which shouldnt be a problem unless I get stupid with cams. Is this realistic? I love the shape and the handling of the Z but 345rwhp is boring me to tears.

Thoughts?
