hello , its been a while since i have been on here. i had to read this thread. i would look at my self as a "purist". my bird is a basic 350 but a one owner before i bought it, they kept it stock. everything in it is matching NO's , so it would be hard for me to go away from that. don't get me wrong i have been tempted with a mod or two, but decided "no". i purchased a 1969 4bbl intake from a gto,or grandprix. a duel snorkel air-cleaner. i am not a chevy fan, but the only time a first gen camero gets my attention is when it is a clean stock camero, and it goes for mustangs for me also.
