Future plans for the car are a V8 swap (not sure if I want to go LT1 or LS1), painting the car white (leaving the roof black), and redoing the suspension so that it handles a little better. There are a bunch of minor details that I am leaving out but thats the main plan.
I know that the car is beat up and I dont expect any compliments from anyone, only criticism. I dont mind though, fire away, Im used to car forums.

Welcome to the site. You might not get any compliments right away, but no one here will give you any criticism. You bought what you could afford and have done well in improving what the original owner did not care about. With time, effort and money when you have it, you'll get a lot of pleasure knowing you made a lady out of a whore. Good luck, and keep the V/6. The problems of installing a V/8 in a modern car that was not meant for it, requires a ton of time and money(computer changes/wiring/suspension/transmission/etc.). Save your money for a real LT1 or LS1, and if you have fixed up this car the right way, you'll most likely make a decent profit if you do most of the work yourself.
