TH350 Conversion for Thirdgen Complete, Also a Stock Iroc Wonderbar

Hi guys,
I just got a t56 conversion. Basically in the past 6 years, though my Iroc runs great, I haven't had tags because of too many cars being insured in the family, the th350 isn't the best for the street, and I got rid of all my emissions controls. This is why I got the t56, to make it steetable and the car is 20 years old in september so I shouldn't need emissions anymore.
I had put a th350 that had a shift kit in thinking I would be going to the track a lot. I have been two or three times in the past 6 years, the track was always packed with imports, I got maybe a total of 10 runs. I have also been up and down the road occasionally at my garage.
Anyways. I have the th350, has a shift kit installed, it shifts great. I have the driveshaft and the bracket to hook up the torque arm. Also it has a 12" stall I can include, the kind that is like 4-600 rpm's above stock, it's blue so I think it is B&M. You can't do much better in the quarter mile than with a th350. With the same power you will get much better 60 ft's and quarter miles times than the 700r4 or a manual transmission. I am in Baltimore, I will do the whole conversion for 500 picked up, or best offer. It can be shipped at the buyer's expense, if you think this is a little too much make offers.
If you really want to go fast, I am also selling the stall converter I was using when I went to the track those few times. It is a practically new B&M 2800-3200 10" stall converter. Has like 10 miles on it or something. $250 or best offer. or the transmission with this converter instead for 650 or best offer. Put them together with some drag radials and a 350 tpi will break into the 13's on stock power with very low 60 ft's. If I can get it to the track next weekend before pulling the t56, that's if no one buys it before then, I will get some time slips. But a lot of you guys are very knowledgeable, so you know the potential of this setup. There is nothing wrong with the transmission at all, it shifts great, firm and fast and the 10" converter is almost new. The 12" may be preferred by some with practically stock cars, but you can still use the 10" on a stock car to show off with by running a possible 13.9 or better on stock power. Combine the transmission mods with suspsension mods and see if you can be the fastest stock power tpi ever! If I didn't already have a bunch of bolt ons like my superram and headers, I would have tried it.
I also have a stock Iroc Wonderbar for $50 or best offer shipped, I just saw one go for this, I know you can get the tds for just a tad more, but this is a factory original piece, some poeple prefer this.
You can PM, or my email is Bneuberthz@hotmail.com and phone number is 443 985 0919. I live in sykesville, Maryland. The iroc and these parts are at my garage in Glen Burnie. I will entertain any serious and reasonable offers. I would prefer pick up on the transmission, but again, I will ship at buyer's expense, some people maybe too lazy to ship a transmission. I sell parts classic Mercedes parts on ebay all the time, I am used to shipping much larger things. I would keep the transmission and 10" converter for another project buy I would like to get my car painted as soon as possible, the sun has gotten to the once beautiful black paint over the years. I am also open to Trades, I'm open minded so if you have something you think is worth the trade just ask. I would love to get some aluminum heads(L98, TFS, whatever), or some nice chrome Iroc style wheels or really nice original Iroc wheels with good tires, maybe interested in a cool fiberglass hood. I need an LPE superram cam We can work something out.

Would you be willing to travel and meet some place??? Is it a long tail or short tail. I know it includes the driveshaft, so it's no problem, but I am just curious.

Hi,
I do not mind travelling to meet a little bit, where are you located? If I remember correctly it is a short tail? I think the stock 700r4 driveshaft was a few inches too short. But like you said it doesn't matter cause I have the driveshaft.

where's the offers?

To the top guys, trying to get some offers at least. Doesn't anyone wanna go faster in the quarter mile. The conversion, with the high stall converter, a pair of drag radials, and some suspension mods most of you guys probably have done, should take at least .6 off the quarter mile, up to a second depending on yoru driving. Going from a 700r4 with street tires to this with drag radials will give huge improvements, and you will almost die when you see how fast you can 60 ft with this setup and some good driving skills. You do have to shift it through the gears when drag racing, I didn't even have the kick down cable attached to the throttle body ever, I just started in first, shift to second, then shift to third. it shifts so fast it's like it never happened. If you go with the 3000 rpm b&M stall I have available you will launch like a demon, throwing 60 fts that cars wtih 100 or more horsepower are getting. If you are close by and want to pick it up then I can help you out with the install at my garage, it's not too hard of a conversion. Only thing I did wrong was I didn't have the right gear for the mechanical speedo to work accurately. I didn't care since I was only going to the track, and I only got there twice on most of the stuff like the stall converter and having the driveshaft balanced and I think they did put new u joints on.

Let me know because I'm in desperate need of a driveshaft! If I can't find something within the next 24 hrs then I'll have to buy a new one somewhere.

I want to sell the conversion, not just the driveshaft, if I sell the just the driveshaft, I no longer have a conversion setup. someone make an offer on the conversion, a reasonable offer will be accepted, reasonable offer on the wonderbar will be accepted as well. It's not easy for me to get the membership, the car is at my garage which is 40 miles from my house, so it would cost $15 in gas just to go get the measurement. When I get there I can get the measurement for you, but I really need to sell the complete setup so I can get my car painted.

Well that sucks. You could have told me this sooner to save me some hassle.

IMO, it's probably easier for you to sell everything separate because most people don't want to pay shipping on a transmission.
