Re: I NEED AN ENGINE!!!

I would sell him the whole car for 250!! It is not worth doing anything with, floorboard is gone and it was rode hard and put up wet.I was going to use it as a donor for my S10, but changed my plan on that!! All bs aside I could use a good set of large chamber heads.

Re: I NEED AN ENGINE!!!

I might be able to hook you up with a TPI 5.7 motor. ill talk to the guy that has it and find out what he needs for it. i know it will need new bearings though.

Oh, and i live in southern MN so i may have to charge a small fee for delivery.

Re: I NEED AN ENGINE!!!

I got a 305. Its an lg4 out of an 86 Firebird. It ran good when I pulled it out few years ago. I think I got everything for it. I might even have the carb. $100.

Re: I NEED AN ENGINE!!!

xxx and bigj350, you two should send me an email. are those you're talking about ready to just put in and go? and as i'm kinda a novice, i'm assuming with those i'd need a new transmission and stuff under the hood redone to handle that kind of power, right? but thanks for all the help guys. awesome.

Re: I NEED AN ENGINE!!!

don't spend 250 or 300 on a 305. Around chicago we sell them for $50-100 because no one wants it for a performance buildup. For $900 you get a brand new longblock 350, so keep that in mind. Furthermore to v6 to v8 swap you'll need motor mounts, springs, etc etc not including the wiring harness. Might be cheaper IMO to buy a running v8 car with a rusty body for $500 at the most and swap parts over. I've bought 5 or 6 of them off ebay, craigslist, etc to part out that were L98 cars.

Re: I NEED AN ENGINE!!!

For the most part its ready to go. The carb, timing cover and accessories need put back on. Not a big deal though. I am not sure if I have the right carb for it though. Let me know
