One of my high school girlfriends had a notchback Monza with a 350 in it. It was pretty low on HP but it still screamed. I had some fun times with it.

They had to do something to that holley to fatten it up to keep it off the lean side.
Blow through's are tough to tune.

I have helped put a few on the spit. Buddy has a custom paint shop (the one doing the old Ford truck) and he calls in the extra hands when help is needed.

I've gotten quite a bit done on the soccer mom car. Injector, rack and pinion, put the exhaust back on, blower oil, front driver hub bearing, taillights. Tomorrow will hopefully be rear passenger hub bearing, headlights, some new door clips if they show up. We'll see how it goes.

It's starting to feel that way. After all the mechanicals are in tip top shape, on to cosmetics. Paint the hood, paint or replace the b pillar moulding, one new rim, full detail cleaning of the interior and engine compartment. Good thing I got it cheap!

Drop in the distributor and run the plug wires.
