Re: Trans Am Creations

They've been dealing in these things since ... a long time ago.

They specialize in scouring the Earth for wrecked TAs and parting em out.

They're in FL. Not too far from CT at all. What, maybe 15 hrs or so down the 95. One night of hotel room, NBD. If you can't find one locally, they're reasonably reliable, as reliable as anyone can be, whenin the business of dealing with used parts out of somebody else's wrecked cars. And not "cheeeeeep" by any means, but sometimes the "cheeeeeeep" motor that's not there, costs more than the "spensive" one that IS.

Re: Trans Am Creations

Where in CT? Firebird Fred in East Windsor might have a motor for you. this dude's loaded with parts.

Here's one of his ads, just call him up and see what he's got. He probably has enough parts to build 7-8 thirdgens to factory spec.
