1988 GTA blown engine (PHX, Arizona)

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/4787303413.html

blew the engine, got half way through changing it in the 2 months I've been working on it and I've given up

i love 3rd gens and i love firebirds. but this was it for me, i crashed my first one at the beginning of the year (83 firebird S/E) took 3 months to go through the insurance company then i got a 82 Trans am which burned less then 48 hours later. 3 months of insurance company later i get this 88. it lasts for just under 2 months and the engine blows.

now after ive been working on it for 2 months ive come to the conclusion i just cant anymore. so ill take any price for this clunker. i have all the parts needed to fix it except the will power.

i have the 350 from my '83 out just needs converted from 4bbl to the GTA fuel injection, the engine needs finished pulling in the GTA parts switched to the 83 engine and it all needs to go back together.

If you decide to scrap it I could use the odometer screen for the digital dash

Too far from Kansas too, unfortunately
I've got some money to play with now.
If its going to scrap, wanna part out the tpi?

Edit: let me see if my work has any transports coming your way soon. If so, I'll definitely buy it
