Newbie from MT

Hey everyone! I'm a new member due to my new olds acquisition. My first car was a 1988 Delta 88 and now I am the proud owner of a 1965 Delta 88 Holiday. It is in need of a full restoration and I will be hitting it hard come the first of the year after knee surgery recovery. I have some fun ideas but am kind of at a loss about how to go about figuring out choosing parts and balancing them for the engine build I want. I am a true newbie when it comes to that part of working on cars. But it is an adventure I am excited to experience.

I will do so! It has the original 425 that I plan on rebuilding and doing a Holley EFI and possibly more, maybe a turbo. It will be for street, cruise nights and lots of road trips. I plan on it being a fairly unconventional build but I want to keep it looking clean, classic and beautiful on the outside.
