[Chevelle-List] Help with new purchase.

[KARM40]

So, I am looking at 2 cars. One is a 71 SS convert. 350 with air.  The other is a 454, no air.  How hard is it to add air to a car?  Does it lessen the value, since it wouldn't be original?  I think that I would paint the 350, not crazy about the color.  Am I really screwing up not getting the 454?  I had a 350 before and it was plenty quick, but I always wanted it to be quicker, but I also have a 14 year old who will be wanting to drive it and I'm wondering about a new driver with all that power.  All thought would be appreciated! Thanks, Mark
