1990 Corvette Burned Engine and Tranny Pricess????

Alright i stumbled upon a 1990 corvette it has the tpi unit 350 and the guy is telling me it has the six speed but i am leary on that if it came with one in 1990 still researching... anyway they guy doens't know how much he wants for the set up yet i want the entire engine and the tranny wiring harness is fried and the whole car was in a fire so things could be warped depending on how hot it got now i know i will rebuld the tranny and everything but what do you think something like this would go for given it's present condition and someone please help me out to see if the six speed came in that year and i can use it thanks:hail:

it'll go for whatever someone was willing to pay. if it were me 100 dollars would be my limit. being in a fire would make me give up on it pretty quick.

The TPI and the alluminum l98s would be work some cash. You could buy it and probably sell most of the parts and make your money back fairly quickly.

That would be the ZF 6 speed, and it is a pain in the *** to install!! Parts for that trans are few and far between aswell. Like ede said, I would also pay very little for a burned up car.

I'm not sure many of you guys have seen fire damaged engine componets. Most burn down or partail burn downs trash all plastic peices bushings aluminum ect. It may not even be worth the $100 ede would give for it.

If it was a minor electrical fire with no component damage its probably worth a grand, if the entire car burn its worthless except as scrap.

it had an interior fire but everything looks good from what the guys says my concern is how hot it got and if anything warped i am telling him i would give him a grand for the engine and the transmission which i think is pretty fair for something that will need a little work to get cleaned back up says it shifts fine through the gears and the engine cranks so i don't know at this point i might jsut swap it into my z28 and yank the 305ho that is in my car now that is after i mod it and rebuild it you know your guys input is much appreciated keep it coming
