Alright heres the deal I have 2 cars in my possession right now. I have an 89 and a 92. As it says in my info the 89 had a 406 but was removed and traded str8 up for a 355 with 425 HP. Now here is my problem. I dont know whether to go with the ttoped 92 camaro or the solid toped 89 to build. I just need some exterior input. The purple car does need some body work to the drivers side but I think it is a better looking car so I was going to sacrifice the 89s body to fix the 92. But the thing is the 89 only needs a fender and a cone on it and it has a perfectly str8 body other than that. The 92 would take some time to fix the dents in. I also have a built 700R4 for the 355 and the 92 is an automatic and the 89 is manual. How much do you think it would take to put into the 89 so that the manual works with the 355? IM JUST SO CONFUSED THIRDGENERS HELP ME OUT.

If your interested in drag racing go with the 89, hard top car are a little lighter, also less chassis flex until you get some sfc's, also you might want to consider the 700 trans, ecspecially if you maunual trans is a stock t-5...don't ask me how i know
