Has been sitting for 10+ years
So I've recently have revived a 85 z28 from a family member it has been sitting for over 10 years and ran before it went into storage. I want to get this car up and going and want to know what I should do.. (besides fluids and battery) also want to know what I could do for a decent power increase for the 305 down the road. I have a turbocharger intercooler,piping.ect. for a small turbo setup dont want to blow the motor but want to get a decent increase In power for a little fun . Also wondering what would decent headers and exhaust run me?

I would go ahead change fuel filter, plugs, wires, roter and cap for distributor, go over brakes may have to do a fuel pump mine clogged after sitting ,and mine sat for about 5 I would do that and then go from there afterward.

Re: Has been sitting for 10+ years
305 was never really intended for producing much power, But I'd say you should do want Jsapp38 said and run the car for a bit sorta like get a feel for it. Then add small bolt ons like headers, exhaust, Etc...
Cuz you really never know if the engine is worth putting money in if its gonna need a overhaul or something major like that...
