91 firebird info needed

Hey guys, Well as we all know... out of the 6-7 posts ive done lol.. im ready for anything besides a 6.. So ive found a 91 firebird with a 305 in it.... the guy says it need a fender, oil pan, and it smokes.. he claims that a gasket... he didnt say which one.. also from the description he gave me, the interior, exterior, and all around ability of the engine is ok, if not better. Im going to go look at it this week..

Now is it worth it from this small info for 900$ im thinking so... but who knows.. i have to see it first. Also can anyone tell me what kinda mods i can do to push me over 200 hp? i think it has 170 stock... I really want 240+ but my first goal will be 200

Plus any recomendations on what i can do to make it look bad ***??? im really going for a not so scary look. I dont want people to think it has any power... i just want it to look nice.. that way they wont expect it.. > Well thanks a lot.

You should go see it and see how it runs .. smoke ussually aint a big deal it just ussually a valve cover gasket but things to make it look badass? Put an 82 83 or 84 nose and back bumper on it and get a pedistal wing

i say look at it, drive it, test it out..

if it runs and has no rust it would think its worth 900 bucks..

just give it some body work and a decent paint job, with some decent looking rims; and your exterior is done..

even with the smoke if the engine runs it may just need some seals.. i think since its a 91 firebird it would be worth it..

sounds like a nice project car..

Getting that much HP shouldn't be too hard at 200hp. Full exhaust may about get you there, along with the free TBI mods.

240 is out of question I would think, without changing cam and heads.
