87 iroc-z28 HELP!

Hi all, Am new to this site and just recently purchased an 87 iroc-z28 that was a 305 and is now a 350. (previous owner had swapped it). Now I am not an expert at this kind of stuff. but was wondering what I can do/buy/upgrade/whatever to this car to make it somewhat of a beast. the car does run. has been sitting for a few years apparently. could use some TLC but don't know what i should start with buying. oh and i would not like to spend a fortune.. ANY COMMENTS help. THANKS!!

Welcome to TGO, iRoC. Your question is enormous. Try to break it down into motor, suspension, etc., then perhaps do searches. Also check the stickies (those links at the top of each forum) for help/ideas.

You might also ask yourself what you wish the car to be: a straight-line, racing monster, something that hugs the curves, a daily driver, etc. and build the car to that particular end.

Good luck on your project.
