Where are you located??? I have an 82 with a 400 Potiac motor in it, however I did not do the swap.

If you are close, you can come and look at it, however the motor is going bye bye real soon.

I am about 40 min. west of chicago. Where in Ohio are you? And how long are you going to have the motor in the car? I would be interested in seeing it but I may not be able to make it for a week or two. If you aren't going to yank it soon, I would be VERY intersted in seeing it.

I am not really sure how much longer it will be in the car. It is actually just setting it it now with most accessories unbolted already. Shoot me an email at: Indy82z@yahoo.com and I will send you some good pictures. I am located about 45 minutes north of Columbus.

hey Indy... we are almost neighbors. 15 minutes east of Dayton. As I stated in other post, headers are the main issue.
