Sell the car, then have $3500 total to buy a halfway decent 350 TPI.

First off,

I want to keep the TBI 'cause its reliable as hell and I want to retain a "stock" like car. The 383 stroker with about 450 hp is going in the 82'Z28 I'm about to buy anyway...

I would put $2000 of it in a savings account.

With the rest I would get some subframe connectors, strut tower brace and an aluminum driveshaft. Unless there is stuff that needs to be fixed already.
