'88 TA T-5 TPI T-TOPS GTA OPTIONS, save or part out?

I got this "88 TA TPI that came with a T-5, WS6 suspension, GTA wheels, T-Tops, and the GTA digital Dash. Car is white with tinted windows.

The motor blew up, so it needs a new motor. Thinking of putting a L98 350 in it. The problem is that I don't have the money to put into it right now, so I am on the verge of parting this car out.

I was thinking that this combo was rare for these cars, and it would be worth saving this car, as it has a T-5 in it which some people like very well.

Any input on this? Anyone looking for such a car?

If the car is in great shape (apart from having a dead engine) don't part it out. Just start putting some money aside for that 350 and some sub frame connectors. It'll be worth it.

If I hadn't recently bought another bird, you're close enough to me that I might've been interested in the whole car, depending on the condition of the rest of it. So there might be other people who will be too.

So before you part it out, advertise it in the classifieds to see what kind of response you get. Then if no one's interested, keep the good parts for one of your other cars, then sell-off the rest.
