Re: Going to buy a 88' Trans Am shell
That's a rather broad question....
Looking for stock engine configurations, anything that works, building on a budget or just going all out?
Just about anything can be made to work, depends on how much effort you're putting into it.. money.. etc

Re: Going to buy a 88' Trans Am shell
I was thinking about a LS engine. I'm not sure. I just want a relatively simple option. But I want some power to play with. I also wanna stay around or under 2k on the engine itself.

Find a donor car with a LS1 / T56 combo and that'd be a good start.
