1977 Stingray
Hello I am a new proud owner of a 77' Stingray. I got her back in March and already blew a head gasket. How much do you think it will cost to rebuild the motor? What improvements can I make to the motor for not only performance but sound? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Lesley
