79 z28

Ok. I have plenty of ideas but i want to hear everyone else's ideas cause i know y'all always have good ones. I have a 79 Z28 that i got recently. has a 350 and an automatic. Didn't originally have an automatic. Started off as a manual (still has the original pedals). Gas mileage and emissions are not factor in what I do, as I'll be getting antique tags on it (only be able to drive it on weekends though) so what are everyone's suggestions. I know there's a lot of routes i can go with this. I just want to see some ideas thrown out there. probably will not keep the current motor as there are some issues with it and I probably will put a standard back in there. So suggest away everyone!

You'llhave to ask yourself some basic questions bro..... main purpose of the car. Street or drag. How far do you plan to drive it on the weekends 5 miles or 50 miles. Budget $$$?

I'm not setting any kind of time limit so budget isn't really going to be a huge factor cause i can save up as much as i need even if it takes a little longer. and it'll be street i'm not the type that'll fix up a car just for the strip. and as far as distance it'll be however far i feel like taking it i'm kinda spontaneous sometimes lol
