well as it looks right now I got about a grand to drop into my car and just a little more as time goes on. I have an '86 IROC with a 4thgen rear and suspension mods, fresh interior like it makes a difference and the engine bay is clean and ready for a motor. The plan was to go with a T-56 and a 350 or 383 TPI with aluminum heads. Since the motor is still far from completion and it's been down for a year I have to speed things up...and considering it's a T-top car I figured I might wait and get a hardtop if I want to build a 383 throughly and do it right.

I have a few mods, ZZ9 cam, SLP 1 3/4" headers, borla catback, highflow Walbro fuel pump, Megashifter, MSD 6AL and I just stumbled upon a complete drivetrain from a '95 (I think) Z for $800 complete. So I need to make a quick decision if I want to buy it or not to put into my '86. If I do I plan on head porting and engine inspection, yada-yada-yada with the ZZ9. Any things I should consider before spending the money? I know they drop in but I'm worried about overcoming VATS and things like that. I did plan on using a 4thgen dash and all in the future and the wiring is there for ABS brakes but I haven't played with it much lately. Trans is a 4L60-E Just looking for advice from those who have been there, this could get me running soon! If I get it I'll be trying to squeeze 400 HP from it. Thanks to everyone!

 

get rid of the auto definitly convert to stick and if you have info on were to get the t-56 let me know
