Re: '71 Burb Build "The Family Car"
Not much to update on the burb except putting gas in it and checking the oil but I did buy this motor and tuned up my C20 last week.

Re: '71 Burb Build "The Family Car"
Been driving the hell out of my burb but no real wrenching going on cause l been working on my Nova but I narrowed down some things I got to get done. 1.Carb rebuilt or replacement. 2.Swap the 3.73's in rear for highway friendly 3.07's. 3.Swaybar for the front with poly bushings. I just need to get some decent weather and motivation and will be in business.

Re: '71 Burb Build "The Family Car"
instead of 3.07's, have you thought about an overdrive transmission and keeping the 3.73's?

Re: '71 Burb Build "The Family Car"
Everyday but I'm fighting the good fight to keep the th350. I don't need the 373s for power or towing so the 307s would be a good fit.

Re: '71 Burb Build "The Family Car"
Well gents I hope this never happens to any of you. I was going to lunch with a friend on Friday when half way there I see my burb wrapped around a tree. I was shocked (still am shocked) It had been stolen from my house and joy rided for about 10 mins. I stopped the person from fleeing the scene and delt with a bunch a clowny unprofessional cops. I tried to take it back home but they said they had to impound it. I really don't know what else to say except its been fun and I don't know if I'll ever find another one. This one was special.

Re: '71 Burb Build "The Family Car"
That just turned my stomach. I hope that never happens to me. Sorry about your luck. Now what are you going to do with it? Y did they need to impound it, you own it? Pretty tough tree.

Re: '71 Burb Build "The Family Car"
I'm still hoping I wake up from a bad dream but reality keeps hitting me. I really don't want the burb to get crushed and theres still a lot of good parts left on it and I know a lot of good fellas on here that need some stuff to bring there's up to full potential. This burb didn't deserve what happened.
