I didnt see a classified section or anything but i did have a motor swap recently and things didnt go as smooth as i thought so im thinking about selling my car and want some opinions on how much i might be able to get for it. Its a 1983 firebird s/e with 80k miles on it and t-tops. New motor has ~300 hp and 3k miles on it. Its a 350 and came from a guy in arizona. Has a 750 carter carb, power plus high rise manifold, crane cam 480/480 lift. Paint hedman shorty headers, y-pipe, no cat and american thunder 3" catback system (sounds real nice). Stronger 28 spline axles with a new auburn posi unit and richmond 3.73 gears. Aftermarket american racing wheels and tires. About 10k on the tires. B&M ratchet shifter. 4" Fiberglass cowl hood. It was repainted about 2 years ago but not an expensive job so there are a couple chips here and there but still looks good. Interior is a little worn, large rip in the drivers side and small hole in the pass side. It has new grey t-top lining, panasonic radio.

Rearend and b&m shifter only have 2500 miles on them.

The problems - My motor for the power antenna won't stop and it wont go up or down so i need to pull the fuse out over night so the battery doesn't die. The speedometer is off cause i put the gears in. Last, the seal or gasket on the timing cover or balancer needs to be replaced cause the engine leaks oil at high pressure (around 5k rpm).

But otherwise everything runs well, pulls hard and the trans holds up fine.

 

anyone?? im hoping at least 5k
