I have a car that be perfet for a drag car. Lightest third gen You could get too. '83 firebird. Some dents but pretty straight body, and no tears or rips in the interior, Just needs a good cleanup cause the cars has sat awhile. a good paint job and dent repairs and it be a slick ride. I have a 350 and trans to throw in with it!

Re: WTB: Third Gen Fbody

Radiator, fan shroud, exhaust, probably some modified fuel lines just to get started. V6 transmission won't fit a V8 so you will have to install the other trans and may need a different drive shaft.

Not to mention needing either another intake or a computer and wiring harness for the TPI.

Re: WTB: Third Gen Fbody

Its an '83 I wouldnt even think of using tpi. I was going to build a bad *** carbed 350 for it so I'd go that route.(or whatever V8 you choose)

Here its considered an antique so I could go carbed and do away with the computer stuff.

But I do have a 350 and trans out of an 87 GTA, I was going to use it for the build.

Yes I have 3 pictures on fquick.com/kght20002000 (more elsewhere if needed)
Like I said though, it could use a paintjob and a few dents repaired and a good cleanup and it be a nice car.

Forgot to mention the only thing really bad interior wise is the dashpad which we all know is the 1st thing to go bad inside these cars.

I'll throw everything I have with the car for 1200$ including the 350 5.7 and 700r4 out of my 87 GTA.
