The engine is a 350 cubic inch V8 with 4-bolt mains that’s been rebuilt to deliver more power than you’d generally get in 1979. An Edelbrock intake manifold and 4-barrel carburetor surely help, and it sure idles like there’s an upgraded camshaft inside. The engine bay is tidy, with the chrome air cleaner being the only component that really stands out as non-OEM, and the reliable hardware is hard to beat. Stock-style cast iron exhaust manifolds feed a true dual exhaust system that sounds great and the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission has quick reflexes for around town cruising. It’s tidy and clean, if not detailed for show underneath, and with highway-friendly gears in the 10-bolt rear end, this is an easy car to like regardless of what you’re doing with it. 5-spoke alloy wheels from a later Z have been fitted and they carry 235/60/15 white-letter radials that look brand new.
