I am so damn excited i could just wet myself. I just bought an 84 272 LS with 538 hours on it. runs great looks decent and was a screamin deal. I have been lurking on this thread for some time and decided I wanted a vintage formula after reading all the good stuff you guys threw down in here. So Hi everyone and thanks for all the information so far.

Now a couple questions I hope you all can help me with. what are the quirks or little tricks to this particular model? Anything I should plan on upgrading or replacing right away? It already has a couple thing done it has a set of chopper props and edlebrock carbs. through transom exhaust (loud and throaty). I would like to upgrade the interior and gage's first. the first thing i noticed is the rubber matting thats on the dash area its cracked and coming up in a couple area's. What have you all done with this area if at all?

thanks again everyone

oh and I already know cuda hates Bimini's lol!

pardon me here is a pic, I am not a fan of the colors but they will get me through the summer and become a winter project.

Congratulations, and welcome to the family.

What power does it have?

Congrats man, nice old bird. Don't know much about that black matting on your dash, mine doesn't have it.

Welcome to the Formula Family.

Yeah man , by all means WELCOME.


Cleavers should probably go. There's better props out there today.

Congrats!!!!

For power it has the twin small blocks. Thanks for the welcome
