engine and drivetrain new owner and new to forum

[Bo]

greetings all just sorta wanted to say hello and introduce myself as well as ask for any advice you all have for a new to 2002's gear head. I am Bo and iv been a mechanic since 95' done diesel and automotive repairs, currently have a 66' chevy truck 61' chevy suburban (my wifes) a 62 chevy 2 nova and in a couple days will be picking up a 74' 2002. iv always liked the 2002's and found one locally in fair shape relatively rust free runs but has oil in the coolant. it comes with another engine block and head as well as another carb and mics. odds and ends. i heard it run and seemed to run ok, but we will see apron getting it home. so I was wondering if you all could share any decent parts dealers/performance part warehouses aside from ireland (?) racing please. and where is a good source for engine parts as i will probably re-build the second engine if needed with a little performance bump. possibly a little port and polish etc.. any way i will quit blithering . oh if it matters i plan on daily driving and possibly occasional autocross days. thanks

Welcome Post up some pics

This man is a great parts source!

Also many of the parts on this car can be bought used so dont be afraid to post up a WTB add in the Wanted section if ya need some parts cause most of us have a stash (might just be me...). GL with the new rig! I'd love to see pics of the wifes Nove II and your other rigs. I'm a Chevy guy, 2002 as a daily and an '86 K20 with a Detroit as the work truck.

some active, some less so. You might consider dropping in at the monthly "EuroSunday" get-togethers (8 am, 4th Friday of each month, various locations - CA Auto Museum this coming Sunday) - I'm almost always there, and there are usually a couple of of other '02 folks as well....

I'm also a BMW/Chevy guy - have had everything from Camaros to Suburbans over the years, currently have a '66 Nova wagon in addition to the '02 and two other bimmers.
